Maximising Value for Pupils (Max VP)

Every resource, opportunity and decision in a school should contribute to improving outcomes for pupils. That's the simple idea behind the Department for Education's (DfE) Maximising Value for Pupils (Max VP) programme, and it's why we're here.

The programme brings together practical tools, frameworks, guidance and services, including Get Help Buying for Schools, to help schools access support, make informed decisions and make the most of available opportunities.

Whether you're a headteacher, school business professional or trust leader, there's something in the programme for you.

By following our blog, you'll get early sight of new tools and frameworks, practical guidance you can act on immediately, examples from schools and trusts already benefiting from Max VP, and a clear overview of the support available and how to access it.

Everything we share is designed to help schools make the most of the support, opportunities and resources available to them, so leaders can focus on delivering excellent education and improving outcomes for pupils.
