Value for Money
At All Saints Catholic College, we strive to ensure the school delivers good value in the use of public
resources by carefully planning and managing our budgets and by identifying key areas and setting targets
for improved use of resources. We understand that achieving value for money in expenditure improves our
effectiveness in driving performance.
During the last financial year, improved value for money has been delivered by
• Negotiating discounts with regular suppliers and consolidating contracts where appropriate
• Working collaboratively with other local community schools, our Diocese and our LA, sharing best
practice and joining group deals
• Using the Government’s Crown Commercial Services purchasing platform for larger contracts
Charging and Remissions
We believe in the highest quality provision for our pupils, and we allocate resources appropriately, and
within guidelines, to ensure that good value for money is achieved. This policy is based on advice from the
Department for Education on charging for school activities and on the Education Act 1996, section 449-462
of which set out the law on charging for schools activities in England.
