Financial Information

Reporting Salaries of High Paid Staff

School financial transparency is an important part of accountability and helps parents, governors, and the wider community understand how public money is spent to support pupils' education. In line with statutory requirements, schools are required to publish key financial information on their website, including details of funding received, employee salaries where applicable, the number of school employees with gross annual salaries of £100,000 or more, and information about how specific grants are used. By making this information publicly available, schools demonstrate their commitment to openness, value for money, and ensuring that resources are used effectively to achieve the best possible outcomes for children.

As of the 01/09/26, no staff at Howard Park Community School earn over £100k per year.

Schools Financial Benchmarking

Schools Financial Benchmarking is a free tool provided by the Department for Education that allows schools to compare how they spend their money with other similar schools. It helps schools check that they are using their funding effectively, getting good value for money, and making the best use of resources to support pupils' learning and wellbeing. By publishing this information, schools show their commitment to being open, accountable, and making informed decisions about spending.
