Since the year ended 31 August 2021, the School has sourced uniforms directly. In the 2023 financial year. the charity was not fully active as the charity's bankers froze and then closed the bank account despite there being a balance of over £150,000 in the account.

In respect of this restricted fund, this arose before the full establishment of the SEND college, Great Oaks College, run by Great Oaks Charitable Trust, which occupies part of the Gresham Road sile, where the roundabouvcarousel is to be situated. The Trustees are still considering the ongoing treatment of the earmarked reserve. No expenses have been claimed by the Iruslees for the period. Reserves policy The Iruslees are aware of the requirement for a reserves policy bul are equally conscious that the historic Funds balance reflects the non recurring grant from the now defunct School Fund. Given this the ongoing income stream is not expected lo be large and over lime funds will be depleted by charitable expenditure. The reserves balance will be regularly reviewed and assessed in the light of all relevant factors and the level of claims for charitable assistance have been established.
