Welcome

.....to the VfM unit website

The VfM unit is a small team committed to improving the way schools allocate and use their resources in order to improve children’s outcomes in a continuous and sustainable way. We will continue to work closely with both local authorities and schools throughout 2008-09 to develop and enhance the following:

- Financial Management Standard in Schools
- Schools Financial Benchmarking
- Consistent Financial Reporting
- Research and Analytical work
- Good Practice
- Best Value

This website aims to provide schools and LAs with a valuable source of tools, guidance and resource materials to assist you in deploying effective strategic management.

We will try to keep the content of the website fresh and interesting, and we would welcome any comments you may have on how we can improve this service, by going to the ‘contact us’ section.
