Finances
2024/25
Income per Pupil (£)
In 2024/25 the revenue reserve was £100,722 or £425 p/pupil. Schools maintain reserves for unexpected costs, but these funds are ultimately meant to benefit pupils.
Expenditure per Pupil (£)
In 2024/25 the in-year balance was £55,845 or £236 p/pupil. A positive balance means the school had money left over, which goes into reserves for future use.
About This Data
- •Financial data comes from the DfE School Financial Benchmarking service. Schools report their income and spending each year.
- •Revenue reserve is the money a school has saved up over time. Schools keep reserves to cover unexpected costs, though funds are meant to benefit current pupils.
- •In-year balance shows whether a school spent more or less than it received in a single year. A positive balance means the school had money left over; a negative balance means it dipped into savings.
