About the School Funding Unit

We seek to distribute funding, operate financial arrangements and provide financial support services to schools and other providers in ways that are consistent with and contribute to the achievement of the Children Schools and Families Service Plan.

Our main objectives are to:

  • Develop and implement the arrangements for funding schools including the Scheme for Financing Schools and delegated funding formulae.
  • Provide financial services to schools including financial software and support for setting budgets and monitoring expenditure.
  • Our main clients are Hertfordshire schools including, in particular, headteachers, governors and bursars/finance officers.
  • We also support private and voluntary providers of nursery education, County Councillors and partnership groups.
