Session Hosted by IRIS - From Data to Decisions: Unlocking Financial Clarity Across Your Schools

With nearly 60% of academy trusts now reporting in-year deficits, financial sustainability is one of the most pressing challenges school leaders face. This session explores how advanced financial reporting can provide greater visibility of budgets, deliver actionable insights, and enable transparent collaboration across multiple stakeholders. By moving beyond reactive number-crunching to proactive, strategic decision-making, leaders can strengthen governance and ensure every pound is working harder for pupils. You’ll hear from a trust leader who will share how smarter reporting has improved oversight, transparency, and confidence across their schools.
