technology companies wanting to rip schools off, but unscrupulous ‘leasing’
companies using tech to rip off schools.

Accountability
/ responsibility is key, and I’m amazed by the amount of school bursars /
business managers still unaware of leasing guidelines (IAS17 / Operating
Leases…), and more astounded that these professionals in schools are
signing-off contracts. I’m guessing they’ve not read the small-print!

It’s easy,
check your finance partners credentials, are they LEA approved, ask to speak to
neighbouring schools, what DfE frameworks do they utilise etc….
