Avoiding school management via spreadsheets: How Ebor Academy Trust use ICFP to enable objective staff planning

In IMP Software's recent CFO insight survey, “struggling to get buy-in from headteachers” was one of the main challenges that was found to be holding CFOs back from implementing trust-wide ICFP. In this session Andrew Robinson, CFO at Ebor Academy Trust and Donna Bedford, Headteacher at Robert Wilkinson Primary Academy, will outline how they have ensured a collaborative approach to ICFP alongside their headteachers, which enables resources to be targeted to school priorities whilst also ensuring a sustainable staffing model that is driven by educational need.
