• School Finance Role Handover Checklist - This checklist can be used as a handover document when taking on a role that includes school budget management and covers a range of tasks you may wish to complete, including getting set up on finance management systems, learning about the current budgetary picture and understanding any financial constraints the school is facing.
• School Finance Glossary - For those new to school finance management, understanding the associated vocabulary, terminology and acronyms can be one of the biggest hurdles to overcome! Written in an easy-to-digest manner, you can keep this glossary to hand when building your skills in school budget management.

For this reason, it’s ideal for new heads, academy headteachers or anyone stepping into school budget management for the first time. The skills audit and handover checklist are editable and in Word .docx format while the school finance glossary is in a PDF format.
