Benchmarking

Benchmarking expenditure is a way for schools to take control of their budgets by learning from others and implementing changes to spending patterns to help them deliver their education priorities. Further information on benchmarking and school financial management is available from GovernorNet.

The DfES's Financial Benchmarking Site is the official tool for preparing charts to compare your school's income and expenditure profile to those of similar schools.
