• The VfM resource pack for SEN/AEN aims to help schools to self-evaluate the impact of their SEN/AEN income and expenditure on outcomes for pupils using criteria.
• The current framework for school inspection includes judgements about whether: ‘financial resources made available to the school are managed efficiently’ and ‘how effectively and efficiently resources are deployed to achieve value for money’.
• School SEF Section 6a: …how effectively resources are deployed to achieve value for money.
