Finance & Funding

Finance and Funding

In October2020, St George’s CE Primary and Nursery School became an Academy within the Chester Diocese Academies Trust (CDAT). 

St George’s CE Primary School now receives funding direct from the Education Funding Authority. The amount of funding is predetermined by a formula which takes account of the number and profile of its pupils.  This income is intended to cover all the school's annual costs including teaching staff, curriculum, materials and building running costs etc. to deliver the priorities set out in the School Development Plan.

Spending and impact of Pupil Premium and Sports Premium is monitored and reported to governors on a regular basis.

The accounts are audited every year by an external auditor and are published in line with Government regulations.

St George’s CE Primary and Nursery School take financial management very seriously and make every effort to ensure best value for money is achieved through effective systems, robust procurement processes and careful budget management.  Our aim is to ensure that every penny we receive is spent to enhance and improve the education of the children at our school.
