Background

History

The trust was founded in 2011 with just two school and expanded to take on Hastings Hill and over extended itself to take on Welbeck which has financial difficulties. The CEO came back from maternity leave in 2013 and employed a qualified accountant, Fiona Hardie, as Chief Financial Officer. They established a new professional accounting system whereby all the schools used one central finance office- and the only delegated power was petty cash, and that had a top limit of £50. Though salaries was outsourced, financial planning was done by the finance officer. In one school, with falling rolls the salaries used up 103% of the budget.
