The Schools White Paper, The Importance of Teaching, published on 24 November 2010, stated that “it is important that schools should make savings on procurement and back office spend in order to invest resources in teaching and learning. The Spending Review announcement said that schools “should be able to save £1 billion in these areas by 2014-15.”
