School Financial Benchmarking 

The school uses the Department for Education’s (DfE’s) Schools Financial Benchmarking website to find similar schools and then compares their per-pupil revenue and expenditure data against spending at Keston. This allows the school to identify areas where spending is comparatively high or low. It is important to also understand the story behind the data and to consider it in context.

The Head of School and Operations Manager work closely with the MAT  when considering financial decisions and the Leadership Team are also consulted when developing the systems and processes the school has in place to help ensure spending is efficient and results in the best outcomes for our pupils.
