Soft Market Test for Schools Budgeting and Financial Reporting Software

The Schools Traded Team and Schools Corporate and Compliance Team (SCCT) within the Cambridgeshire Finance Team currently provides financial support to circa 130 maintained schools (nursery, primary and special). Maintained schools are required to submit annual budgets and monthly returns in a consistent format to the Local Authority, and the current solution supports the production of these key financial returns. Given the growing complexity of schools finances we are seeking a solution which is compatible with the existing infrastructure and varied systems in place, with a particular emphasis on reporting to allow accurate information to be presented in a clear to follow format to key stakeholders (e.g. governors and local authority).
