The schools financial value standard (SFVS) helps to provide schools with assurance that they are meeting the basic standards necessary to achieve a good level of financial health and resource management.

The SFVS checklist asks a number of questions of governing bodies in six areas of resource management to provide assurance that the school is managing its resources effectively. This can be used to identify possible areas for change to ensure that resources are being used to support high-quality teaching and the best education outcomes for pupils.

This section includes the latest school financial value standard report submitted to the local authority. Click on the image opposite to read or follow this LINK.

The report is updated in November each year based on the outcomes, policies and procedures from the previous financial year.
