Schools financial benchmarking will no longer be updated with new data

Find the latest data on the new Financial Benchmarking and Insights Tool. This will include 2023-24 data for maintained schools.

This service will include all previous financial data available too.

Visualise the financial data for all of your schools: The Schools financial benchmarking website has been updated with the latest financial data.

One of the Department for Education’s key benchmarking tools – the Schools financial benchmarking (SFB) website – has been updated with the latest data from the 2022/23 Consistent Financial Reporting (CFR) return. This update provides the latest financial data for maintained schools and local authorities. SFB is a free package offered by the Department for Education that provides important insights on schools’ financial data.

We are aiming to have the View my financial insights (VMFI) tool updated shortly.

Future Direction

We are currently undertaking a period of research aimed at consolidating the SFB with the DfE’s View my financial insights (VMFI) service. We would be extremely grateful for any volunteers to participate in and guide this research. We are particularly interested in users who have:

  • specific access requirements
  • ideas on new ways to improve the service we offer, particularly from a local authority perspective.
