As well as supporting MATs to improve their systems of control and management, we provide a mechanism to fulfil their statutory duty, providing an Annual Summary Report to the ESFA annually. We know the education market inside out, but we also bring business acumen and commercial flair to our approach.Focus on improving learning without getting bogged down in running payrolls, dealing with performance issues or spending hours on data input, finance or systems. Hundreds of schools, colleges and academies have chosen to outsource vital elements of school management to Strictly Education. And the result? A more efficient approach that can save money and free up school leadership teams'​ time.
