SarahBell Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 Although schools spend most of their money on education staff, they spend approximately £9.2bn a year on other areas including catering, back office costs and energy bills. In 2009-10, schools spent around £2.1bn on premises, including buildings and grounds maintenance, cleaning and caretaking. Department officials have identified a number of cases in which schools have spent excessively on photocopiers. Expensive deals on photocopiers have cost schools between £25,000 and £200,000, the department says. http://www.guardian.co.uk/education/2011/jan/12/200-schools-miss-new-gcse-target Worryingly the government's new schools commissioner, Elizabeth Sidwell, a former headteacher and chief executive of three London academies. How much does a CE cost a school? Well done nulabour for inventing pointless new jobs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gone baby gone Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 In 2009-10, schools spent around £2.1bn on premises, including buildings and grounds maintenance, cleaning and caretaking. You can bet that the PPP schools have pushed that figure skywards in the last decade. Worryingly the government's new schools commissioner, Elizabeth Sidwell, a former headteacher and chief executive of three London academies. How much does a CE cost a school? Well done nulabour for inventing pointless new jobs. I dunno if it's pointless exactly, she runs a group of schools, and I would imagine has more of an administrative role which allows the head teachers of each school to have more of an academic role. Probably paid too much though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
