Agenda item

Robin Crofts, Director of Education, introduced a report summarising the current state of SACRE finances. It was confirmed that SACRE had yet to spend any money in the Financial year beginning April 2015.

Members queried the £70.00 remaining from the £1,300.00 retained from Montem Primary Academy. Mr Crofts confirmed that the purchase of religious resources and materials by SACRE in March 2015 had been attributed against this Montem money, leaving £70.00

SACRE members confirmed that they had authorised the purchase of these materials from the core funding prior to the end of the last financial year, to ensure that the £1,300.00 Montem fund could ‘roll-over’ into the new financial year in full. The cost of these materials had therefore been attributed to the Montem fund in error.

Mr Crofts confirmed that he would review this with the Finance team and provide a further update at the next SACRE meeting.
