An update to legislation is coming

Under current legislation, maintained schools are required to publish a link to the specific page on the Schools Financial Benchmarking website dedicated to their school.

In autumn 2024 the new Financial Benchmarking & Insights Tool was launched, amalgamating several benchmarking tools, including the Schools Financial Benchmarking and View My Financial Insights, which will be switched off over the coming months.

Therefore, we are in the process of updating legislation so that maintained schools will be required to publish a link to their page on the Financial Benchmarking and Insights Tool instead.

This will be the link you need to publish for Lowton Junior and Infant School:
https://financial-benchmarking-and-insights-tool.education.gov.uk/school/106421

Next steps

You don’t need to do anything yet, we will email you again to let you know when it’s time to take action.

Kind regards,
DfE Financial Benchmarking and Insights Team
