Financial Management and Best Practice Tips

Finance Policy – defining limits for cash held on site.

  • All schools should state, within their finance policy, the amount of cash that can be held on site
  • The model finance policy on KELSI suggests this amount should be kept at a minimum and no higher than £200
  • Cash is not covered under general insurance cover
  • Extra cover for higher amounts of cash can be purchased if necessary
  • Please see the model finance policy on KELSI here for more details.

Visit CPD Online for details of all upcoming training courses and make sure you book your place early to avoid disappointment.


Don't forget to follow us on Twitter for news, updates and info. We understand many primary schools cannot access Twitter so we will still be using KELSI and ebulletins to communicate information in addition to Twitter.
