Trust officers making a payment to a School?

Every school must allocate all income (& costs) to Consistent Financial Reporting (CFR) codes. When making a payment to a school, please ensure that you include the CFR code the school should use in the information submitted to schools and to Payments. Refer to the payment procedure and the spreadsheet format for sending to payments if in doubt.

For full details please refer to Schools Payment Procedures.
