Schools: An Education in Charity Law

This book, the first of its kind, provides a detailed study of the complex legal and social issues surrounding charitable status and schools. Following a consideration of the types of schools or connected school organisations that have charitable status (including parent teacher associations), the book goes on to examine the implications of such status. Within the financial sphere, consideration is given to such areas as taxation, investment and fund-raising for schools. Property matters examined include ownership of charity property and changes to school charities. The restrictions and liabilities imposed due to charitable status are also looked at. Notably, school governors, already heavily regulated under education law, may also find themselves subject to charity law and this issue is explored in the book.
