Schools can now acquire equipment through lease finance!

New accounting rules now allow leasing options tailored specifically for schools. Leasing is a great way for schools to secure the equipment and facilities they need to provide an A* star education.

Now, thanks to the Department for Education’s (DfE) pre-approved list of commonly used assets, schools can now finance essential equipment with quick and easy internal sign-offs, with no need for consent from DfE or governors.

From April 2024, local authority-funded schools can take advantage of finance leasing options for prescribed equipment. Academies can now also adopt these rules from September 1st, 2024.

So, what assets can authority-funded schools lease under the DfE’s guidance?
