School Financial Services

To assist headteachers, governors and school business managers to manage their budgeting and finance from a highly experienced team of accountancy staff, the LMS Financial Services team provides a range of financial services and support to schools. Many of these services, including accounting and budget monitoring, are classified as statutory and discharge the Authority’s Chief Finance Officer’s responsibilities under section 151 of the Local Government Act 1972 (core service).
However, other high quality services are offered specifically to enable schools to discharge their own responsibilities.
