Achievements and Performance
SORP reference
Summary of the main
achievements of the charity,
identifying the difference the
charity's work has made to
the circumstances of its
beneficiaries and any wider
benefits to society as a
whole.
Para 1.20
Hambledon Nursery School has had a
successful 2023124 year. once again fully
meriting its Outstanding Ofsted rating. The
underfying strengths of the school - the
ability and dedication of its teaching and
administrative staff and the focus on the
individual care provided to each child - have
enabled us to cope well with all the issues
that came our way.
We conformed closely throughout the year
with all the various, and varying. guidelines,
strongly supported by parents and carers.
We are very fortunate in our physical setting
and made very good use of the exlensive
outdoor space we have available. We
benefited also from the quality and flexibility
of the classrooms and facilities in our
Victorian building.
Financially we continued to be prudent but
were able to continue a modest programme
of capitsl expenditure projects. For the year
as a whole we achieved a surplus, and with a
healthy balance sheet the school's overall
finances are in good shape.
Over the year all the small children in our
care were looked after with provision tailored
to each one's needs. with families kept
appraised of progress through regular
evaluations - features of the school that
underlie our Ofsted rating.
As ever. support for young families in
adversity is always considered by Trustees.
The school is an important part of the village
community and is highly valued by it. The
school also has strong links with the village
church. while remaining inclusive to all.
Looking ahead now the school is very
optimistic about the future. Without taking
anything for granted we are confident that the
school's wide range of strengths will continue
to serve us well over the coming years.

Statement explaining the
policy for holding reserves

Reserves are held for capital investment, in
particular to maintain our Victorian building
and grounds, to cover short-term spikes in
operational cashflows, including supporting
key stakeholders (such as special needs

and as a safety net for a sudden downtum
in financial performance, such as an
adverse change in funding arrangements or
in dernographic features.

school's surplus reserves are around
