Introduction
The consistent financial reporting (CFR) framework provides a template for schools to collect information about their income and expenditure by financial years.
The CFR framework applies to maintained schools and pupil referral units. It’s optional for nurseries and non-maintained special schools.
Submitting your CFR return
The deadline for local authorities to submit their CFR return for 2019 to 2020 is 11 September 2020.
Local authorities should use the COLLECT blade to complete their CFR return. For guidance, read how to use COLLECT.
Read the consistent financial reporting framework: 2019 to 2020 for detailed guidance on how to complete the return.
