school accounts

[Leftie]

Anybody have to deal with them as governor etc?

I am planning some work comparing the fiscal performance of schools. I have quite a bit of financial data as 50% of all schools benchmark data on a web site.

Which of the following do you think are things by which the effieciency of the school in managing their money might be at least in part judged? (obviously at a per capita rate and the benchmarking takes into account such things as age of buildings and size/locale of school).

I think that the money they bring in independenmt of the basic funding is a valid measure, along with spend on things like training and development, cleaning, admin. maintenance, interest on loans, and any revenue reserves they hold.

You can see them in a more user friendly format here:
