Changes to Financial sharing
In regards to actions- I am not sure why it is red as all out pupils have a tablet!
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 Donnington Wood CofE Voluntary Controlled Junior School:
https://financial-benchmarking-and-insights-tool.education.gov.uk/school/123473

NSPCC NUMBER DAY
Dear Parents and Guardians,
We are delighted to inform you that on Friday, 7th February, we will be celebrating NSPCC Number Day. To mark this special occasion, children are invited to wear non-school uniform with a numerical twist!
We encourage students to wear anything featuring numbers, or even dress up as their Times Tables Rockstar avatar. For those who prefer a subtler approach, clothing related to mathematics, such as a striped top (symbolizing parallel lines), is also welcome.
To support the invaluable work of the NSPCC, we kindly ask for donations, which will be collected on the day.
Thank you for your continued support. We look forward to a fun and educational celebration!
Kind regards,
Mr Fox
