The Trust employs a CFO who oversees all financial aspects of the Trust in conjunction with the Executive Head (Accounting Officer).

Processes are designed to function in a way that allow key staff to optimise the time available to support pupils. We do this through reviewing our processes continually to ensure maximum efficiency. 

Compliance and setting balanced budgets ensure we utilise our funding fully.  The CFO helps Headteachers set their individual budgets and advises on potential opportunities, or economies, that will allow him, or her to balance their finances without impacting on the quality of their delivery. The CFO produces regular reports for Headteachers throughout the year, so they are aware of their current financial commitments linked to their priorities.  The CFO provides a direct link between Headteachers and the Board of Trustees and takes forward any fiscal requests they may have.

Working with the Trust’s auditors, Streets Chartered Accountants, the Trust’s central finance team ensures all statutory returns are completed on time and accurately, and any improvements to systems and processes are implemented in a prompt and timely manner.
