This course offers an explanation of how education funding is allocated by government to LEAs, how LEAs allocate resources to schools, the various funding streams available - and how schools can make the most effective use of those resources. It will cover the Section 52 budget statement, the ISB, the Standards Fund and Capital funding - as well as a synopsis of the planned changes in funding and budgeting currently under consideration. It will also cover improvements that can be made to schools' internal procedures to help you maximise the utilisation of resources at your school or college.
