THIS IS A PAST EVENT

Join us for our next webinar in our Driving School Success series. These webinars will provide accessible, high-quality CPD focused on effective operations and strategic decision-making to help schools and trusts thrive.

Schools and academies are facing many challenges, particularly around finance. Rising costs and falling rolls mean an increasingly difficult environment. This interactive session will cover some of the basic principles around budgeting, tips around monitoring the budget and forecasting the year end outturn, effective scrutiny and challenge from governors and trustees, ideas to generate revenue and manage costs, and the opportunity to share stories and ideas with colleagues from around the region.
