School Finance

Charlton Manor Primary School is a local authority maintained primary school within the Royal Borough of Greenwich. Government provides annual funding, which is delegated to the school to spend on our priorities. The Headteacher and School Business Leader devise and set an annual budget with these priorities in mind. The proposed budget and projections over 3 financial years have to be approved by the Governing Body of the school annually. School Governors and the local authority put in place robust financial procedures to ensure that there is transparency, clear accountability and a continual effort to ensure that public money is used in the best way possible to provide an excellent education for our pupils.

The Governing body confirms that in the financial year 2024/25: There are no school employees with a gross annual salary at or exceeding £100,000.

1. The Seven Principles of Public Life

The Seven Principles of Public Life (also known as the Nolan Principles) apply to anyone who works as a public office-holder. This includes all those who are elected or appointed to public office, nationally and locally, and all people appointed to work in the Civil Service, local government, the police, courts and probation services, non-departmental public bodies (NDPBs), and in the health, education, social and care services. All public office-holders are both servants of the public and stewards of public resources. The principles also apply to all those in other sectors delivering public services.

1.1 Selflessness

Holders of public office should act solely in terms of the public interest.

1.2 Integrity

Holders of public office must avoid placing themselves under any obligation to people or organisations that might try inappropriately to influence them in their work. They should not act or take decisions in order to gain financial or other material benefits for themselves, their family, or their friends. They must declare and resolve any interests and relationships.

1.3 Objectivity

Holders of public office must act and take decisions impartially, fairly and on merit, using the best evidence and without discrimination or bias.

1.4 Accountability

Holders of public office are accountable to the public for their decisions and actions and must submit themselves to the scrutiny necessary to ensure this.

1.5 Openness

Holders of public office should act and take decisions in an open and transparent manner. Information should not be withheld from the public unless there are clear and lawful reasons for so doing.

1.6 Honesty

Holders of public office should be truthful.

1.7 Leadership

Holders of public office should exhibit these principles in their own behaviour and treat others with respect. They should actively promote and robustly support the principles and challenge poor behaviour wherever it occurs.
