VfM Programme - helping you invest in the things that matter.

Value For Money

For schools that want to invest more in the things that matter, help is at hand. DSCF is funding face-to-face support for schools to help them tackle value for money challenges across strategic management, workforce, procurement, collaboration, governance and leadership.

Over 1,000 schools have already received individual visits from our experienced education consultants – 95% of which would recommend it to others. Other support available includes workshops for groups of schools and a wide range of tools and resources available on this site. The support can help you identify savings, improve resource management, and find new ways of approaching challenges. To find out more

Testimonials

As a new head I found that the consultancy provided exactly what I needed, not only in terms of financial management but also strategic leadership. It was extremely supportive and non judgemental. I feel in a much stronger position going into my second year of headship.
