There are a small number of requirements that have direct implications for schools in 2021/22, which outline additional financial information that maintained schools must publish on their website:

Below is a link to the webpage (which is dedicated to our school on the DfE'S Financial Benchmarking and Insight Tool) where further financial information can be obtained:
