Understand The Resource Plan View
Open a resource plan from the Resource Plan list.
Review the charts at the top of the page, which show key metrics over five years such as pupil-teacher ratios and class sizes.
Use the tabs below the charts to access additional information:
Curriculum Overview for curriculum metrics.
Staff Spend for expenditure breakdowns.
Resource Requirements for curriculum and group data.
Staff Load for staff deployment information.
Click Edit Plan Setup to open the panel where you can view and edit key baseline settings for the resource plan.
To rename the plan or edit its notes, click the Edit icon next to the plan name at the top of the page.
Review Pupil-Teacher Ratio, FTE, Spend, And Class Size Charts
Look at the Pupil-Teacher Ratio chart to see how the ratio of pupils to teachers changes over five years.
Review the Budget Plan series to see the ratio based on the budget scenario only.
Review the Curriculum Plan series to see the ratio after applying changes in the resource plan.
Review the Affordable series to see what is theoretically affordable based on income, non-staff costs, and average teacher cost.
Review the FTE Teachers chart to compare:
The total number of FTE teachers in the budget scenario.
The total FTE teachers on the resource plan.
The affordable FTE level given the income and cost structure.
Review the % Revenue Spent on Teachers chart to see the proportion of income spent on teachers under the budget scenario, the resource plan, and what is affordable.
Review the Class Size chart to see average class sizes based on:
The resource plan data (using pupil-teacher ratio and contact ratio).
The theoretically affordable class size based on affordability metrics.
Hover over any point on the charts to view the exact values for that year and series.
📌Note: The linked budget scenario does not include all data required to calculate class size directly, so the Class Size chart does not show a Budget Plan series.
