"During the few months leading up to academy status and in the months that followed the financial guidance and support given to Glyn by CEFM was invaluable. The impact of academy status is felt more keenly in the Finance functions at the school than anywhere else and CEFM provided confident and knowledgeable support via email and telephone whenever we had questions.

The on-going advice we receive is still greatly appreciated; the news bulletins give us the confidence to know we are not missing a deadline or Education Funding Agency request and the online policy advice continues to save us time in updating academy policies".

Jan Smith, Finance Officer, Glyn School

"The school has purchased a financial support package for a number of years - which has proved to be an invaluable investment, both for the continuous professional development of the financial staff and for the validation from an independent consultant, advising and monitoring the school's financial budgeting and futures planning".
