Providing strategic support to schools
The Schools Finance Support Team delivers strategic support to schools by offering a comprehensive financial management, support and advice service. As part of that service, the resources on this page are being provided to our schools to guide them through the regulatory requirements for financial management.
While the resources target schools financial personnel, headteachers and governors, they may also be useful to other interested stakeholders.
