Hi all, I am applying for a senior finance officer at an academy. I’ve never worked in a school environment before, I know safeguarding will be a topic that comes up, so I have viewed their safeguarding policy. I’m not sure what they will test me on, can anyone give me an advice please, I’m really nervous. Thank you.

You cant go wrong with mentioning that you would refer to head of safegaurding

I’m wondering what they may give me as finance tasks?
