Affordable Schools: A strategic look at school finances

Affordable Schools: A strategic look at school finances

Tuesday 23 September 19:00- 20:30

More and more schools are finding balancing school budgets increasingly challenging and governors have a strategic role in ensuring that school finances are managed effectively and are providing value for money. This course is designed to provide maintained school governors you with the knowledge and skills to:

  • Understand how your school is funded and how this funding is allocated within the school budget
  • Have a greater understanding of the financial pressures that your school could be facing. Some examples are:
  • Falling pupil numbers
  • Staffing costs
  • Curriculum priorities
  • Increasing numbers of pupils with additional needs
  • Personnel issues
  • Parental concerns
  • Issues specific to your school
  • Work with the headteacher and senior leadership team to find solutions to these issues.

There will be opportunities for questions and discussion throughout the session.
