As a reminder (see also February’s Schools Bulletin), the DfE has produced some non-statutory guidance on School Workforce Planning (January 2017) (external link) which provides guidance on reviewing schools staff structures and also links to advice, case studies and tools for school leaders to use.
A session for Head teachers and School Business Managers is also being arranged by the local authority to enable the sharing of good practice in balancing budgets and also to collectively develop further ideas to meet the challenges faced by our schools by a national funding formula. Details of this session will follow in a subsequent bulletin.
