Purpose of outturn statements
The statement is intended to:
- Provide schools, parents and others with an interest in education with details about school funding and expenditure
- Provide data for the Departmental Annual Report (DAR)
- Help us create and maintain policies
- Be used by the Treasury for monitoring purposes
- Inform Parliament in its role of monitoring the Department’s accountability for public funds. MPs ask about school and authority expenditure via the mechanisms of Parliamentary Questions or through the Education Select Committee.
It's important that school forums and others have finance data available to them to inform the debate about differing levels of expenditure between us and schools. It's therefore essential that all statements are prepared in a common format.
