Money

Money

From the council school accounts, year to March 2025. The per-pupil figures are compared with other primary schools in England that report their accounts the same way.

Spend per pupil£6,830England £7,738. Total £2.1m
Income per pupil£7,008England £7,697. Total £2.2m
Spent on teachers per pupil£3,095England £3,480
Money in reserve1%Very little put by: £20k, £65 per pupil. England 6%
Money in against money out+£55kit took in more than it spent this year
Where the money goes£6,830spent per pupil

Reserves are the money left over at the end of the year, kept back for emergencies and big projects. Being in the red year after year is a warning sign. Very large reserves can mean money sitting in the bank instead of being spent on today's pupils. Academy figures are rounded to the nearest £1,000 and include a share of any money the trust holds centrally.

Crime figures come from police.uk. The police record each crime at the nearest of a fixed set of map points rather than the exact spot, so “within 500 m” is only rough. House prices are from HM Land Registry sales nearby over the last two years.
