<p>Academies and local authority maintained schools report expenditure on a different
basis: maintained schools on a financial year basis (April to March) and academy schools
on an academic year basis (September to August). Data is gathered through two different
collections and published through two different statistical first releases. The tables
below summarise expenditure on teaching staff as a percentage of the whole.</p><p><strong>Local

Government will continue to work to ensure that every child has the opportunity to
attend a good school and that all schools are fairly funded. To help schools make
the best use of their funding, the Department has published practical guidance and
tools on workforce planning, financial management, benchmarking, and buying for schools
which can be found here:<br><a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/schools-financial-health-and-efficiency"
target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/schools-financial-health-and-efficiency</a>.</p><p>Among
these, the School Workforce Planning Guidance supports schools in reviewing their
staff structures and recommends that schools plan their staffing over three to five
years and, in doing so, ensure their teaching staff are being deployed in the most
effective and efficient way. This guidance can be found here:<br><a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/school-workforce-planning"
