Efficiency advisors to help schools with finances
Efficiency advisors will be deployed next month to schools which need help with their finances.
As reported by Tes, the government is sending the advisors into schools from next month in order to provide urgent “financial therapy”.
The advisors, which cost around £400 a day, are being recruited by the Department for Education, and will enter schools from January as part of a pilot.
The advisors are school business managers from the Institute for Business Leadership (ISBL) fellows – and will be funded by the DfE.
They are expected to provide schools with tailored advice on how they can use their resources as effectively as possible.
The names of the schools selected to have the support, along with the criteria for choosing them, have not yet been disclosed.
