Updated: Updated documents 'School resource management self-assessment tool: checklist and dashboard' and 'Dashboard support notes'.

The tool helps assure governing bodies and trust boards that they are meeting the standards to achieve a good level of financial health and resource management.

It can be used to identify areas for change to make sure resources are used to support high-quality teaching and the best education outcomes for pupils.

The tool consists of a checklist and a dashboard.

The checklist asks questions of governing bodies and trust boards in 6 areas of resource management.

The dashboard shows how a school’s data compares to thresholds on a range of statistics that have been identified by the Department for Education as indicators of good resource management and outcomes.

Send feedback on the tool and guidance to SchoolEfficiency.FINANCIALHEALTH@education.gov.uk.
