Following a review of internal procedures it is necessary to remind schools of their obligations regarding the establishment of a School Company.
The Council as the Supervisory Authority for any School Company established by a maintained school in the District (if set up under the Education Act 2002) has a specific role to play.
The functions of the Supervising Authority include:
Schools must ensure they fulfil all School Financial Regulations and notify the designated officer prior to application. Three documents to support the process are attached below.
If any school has already established a School Company and has not notified the Council they need to contact the designated officer as soon as possible.
Designated Officer for School Companies:
