educational, recreational and other charitable facilities in augmentation of such facilities financed by the Local Authority. The
activities of Ripon Grammar School General Fund are carried out for the public benefit.
The public benefit requirement was discussed by the Trustees in relation to Ripon Grammar School General Fund. In
looking at the overall aim and the objectives of the Charity, the Trustees had regard to the Charity Commission's public
benefit guidanGe.

Review of activities
Sp)rts fixtures and trips continue to be a valued enhancement to the curriculum, however the increase in transport costs
have continued to be a strain on the School Fund.
As contributions to the Activities Fund were declining, the Board of Govemors and the Headmaster launched an ambitious
fundraising campaign starting in the summer term 2023 to raise awareness of the Fund and to increase financial support.
This has led to a significant increase in donations for the financial year.

not express an audit opinion on the view given by the accounts.
