Finance
Grow are such experts in their field. I truly appreciate the opportunity to be reflective, as well as the time allowed for in-depth discussion and to delve deeply into the context of our schools.
Our finance support options provides the benefit of the rigour of an external assessment, by recognising school strengths, and making recommendations for improvement so as to secure strong practice. It is also suitable for schools who wish to commission an independent review of their practices to obtain a clearer picture of performance.
How we can help:
We can support with a full board review, bespoke reviews, supported self-evaluation, in-school training sessions and any additional finance related need you may have. We can also provide interim in-school support for new SBM’s and admin staff taking on more finance responsibilities as well as interim cover where possible.
Costings are based on the time taken but in general, they are:
- Full external review: 2 1/2 days.
- Bespoke reviews or supported self-evaluation: minimum of 1 day based on the agreed focus.
- In-school training sessions: minimum of 2 hours.
Where appropriate, supporting resources and opportunities to view best practice in other Grow supported schools will be shared with you too. For two or three form entry schools, there will be two days spent in school, making a total of three days.
Our focus reviews, finance, governance and headteacher’s appraisal support add-ons are designed to supplement our school improvement packages. Together they offer full flexibility, allowing us to be responsive to the specific needs of your school, while retaining our high standards of advice and expertise. Add-ons can be included as part of your existing Oak, Beech or Cedar support package if time allows, or purchased separately. To find out how, please contact us for more information ›
