About the Finance Department

The Finance department provides a key role in the smooth operation of Rickmansworth School. As with all support functions, there is constant review of operations, and where appropriate, adjustments made to improve the service and better support the delivery of education at this academy.

The Finance department is being expanded and refocussed to maximise the significant skills within the department. The addition of a Business Manager will add to these and maintain appropriate control over finances, but also allow us to maximise opportunities available to Rickmansworth School. The recent addition of a new teaching and Drama resource, allowing for expansion of Rickmansworth School in September 2018, adds to excellent and modern sports facilities including a swimming pool, well-equipped gym, dance studio and large sports hall etc.

This busy department manages the financial affairs of the varied activities during and after school, including numerous extra curricula activities and educational trips.

The Finance department aims always to provide an efficient and friendly service to staff and students, and we are committed to ensuring best value and best practice in all we do.
