Risk analysis
All maintained schools are subject to a risk red/amber/green (RAG) analysis. This process is conducted by the Schools Finance Team and is done once a year in August following year-end and initial budget submissions.
If you have any immediate queries regarding changes to the category your school has been assigned, then please contact the Schools Team. You will be contacted if there are any changes to reporting requirements for your school that result from a change to the category assigned to your school.
Please note, any schools with a current Licenced Deficit Agreement must continue to report monthly, regardless of risk category, as stated in their agreement.
