School Resource Management

Buying for Schools website
Recommended deals regularly reviewed and updated and published on gov.uk.
This summarises the recommended deals that are available to schools to help you save money on some of the things you buy regularly. Buying for Schools
Benchmarking and data service
Provides schools with the ability to compare your spending in various categories with that of similar schools.
Governors and school leaders can use the information on the site to challenge their schools or trust on their level of spend, to identify where savings could be made and to determine if there is potential to direct more resource into teaching. Benchmarking and data service
Review of resource management, including curriculum and financial planning
NLEs should ensure schools undertake or have undertaken the School Resource Management Self-Assessment (academies) or the Schools Financial Value Standard (maintained schools) in the last 12 months. These are both now compulsory returns to their local authority or the Department and can be used to facilitate a conversation on resource management, including curriculum and financial planning. The completion of one of these is a requirement for Tier 2 funding to be released, and confirmation that this has been done will need to be attached to the action plan developed by the NLE.
To support a school in undertaking a review, the following guidance may be useful:
