Review of Value for Money 2020-21
As accounting officer, the CEO & Executive Headmaster has responsibility for ensuring that the school delivers good value in the use of public resources.
Value for money refers to the educational and wider societal outcomes achieved in return for the taxpayer resources received. We consider how the school’s use of its resources has provided good value for money during each academic year, and report to the Board of Trustees where value for money can be improved, including the use of benchmarking data where appropriate.
The school has delivered improved value for money during the year by:
- Maintaining a tight budgetary control system;
- Making the most of the benefits of economies of scale as the school grows in capacity.
- Undertaking competitive tender processes using DfE Buying for Schools service for utility contracts and IT equipment procurement.
