School Financial Information & Benchmark Spending

School Financial Information


We are asked to publish on our school's website whether any member of staff recieves a salary of £100,000 or recieves increments of £10,000. This is to confirm no member of staff is paid this figure.

School Financial Benchmarking


The school uses the Department for Education's (DFE's) School Financial Benchmarking website to find similar schools and then comapre thier per-pupil revenue and expenditure data against spending at Preston Primary School. This allows the school to identify areas where spending is comparatively high or low. It is important to also understand the story behind the data and to consider it in context.


The Heateacher and School business Manager work closely with  the Finance Committee when considering financial decisions and the Leadership Team are also consulted when developing systems and process the school has in place to help ensure spending is efficient and results in the best outcomes for our pupils.
