Integrated Curriculum and Financial Planning (ICFP) is gaining popularity across the Education Sector and many schools are using ICFP as part of their regular planning activities. A successful ICFP process can help schools achieve educational success, financial sustainability and deliver the best curriculum your school can afford that meets the needs of pupils. Our two tailored webinars focused on mainstream schools and alternative provision/SEN provision will offer a refresher on the principles of ICFP, practical examples of ICFP metrics and also guidance on implementing and discussing ICFP collaboratively as a leadership team.
We have two webinars focused on financial management:

Strategic financial planning is key to ensuring your school or trust is sustainable for future years.

We will make reasonable assumptions for future multi-year forecasting of expenditure and revenue and introduce scenario planning whilst considering local context. We will share best practice on presenting financial information.
Planning for procurement will support your school or trust to become more efficient, compliant, and financially sustainable. This webinar will support you how to approach procurement, to plan and proactively purchase goods and services, to manage your contracts and suppliers effectively, whilst focussing on value for money.
Effective Strategic Estates Management is reliant on having a clear strategic estates vision and a realisable strategy, which in turn is achieved through the effective management and delivery of an ongoing Asset Management Plan. This webinar will highlight the benefits of good strategic estate management, provide practicable examples, which ultimately will help you drive financial savings and improve sites and buildings compliance and sustainability.
This webinar will develop your understanding of strategic workforce planning and how this can mitigate the need for redundancies, reduce cost and minimise risk to the organisation. We will provide an overview of the restructuring process including the key components of a business case, engagement with stakeholders and mitigating the impact on staff through communication and consultation.
This webinar will provide an overview of the principles of effective leadership and management and how this impacts relationships, staff engagement and staff wellbeing. We will consider what high engagement looks like, how this relates to wellbeing and the benefits that having an engaged and mentally healthy workforce brings to an organisation. We will provide examples of common difficult situations and a framework for managing difficult conversations.
This webinar aims to use minimal technical language to introduce you to and improve your understanding of the DfE digital and technology standards in schools and colleges. The standards include strategic and technical content across 8 technology categories and are designed to help you make more informed decisions about technology and your digital strategy leading to safer, more cost-efficient practices and new learning opportunities for students. The webinar will explain the importance of meeting these standards, risks associated with non-compliance and how they will support the development and improvement of your organisation’s digital strategy, infrastructure and technology.
