Key Findings

• The new finance system for the Independent school reform appears to provide adequate funding but struggles to foster transparency and accommodate shifts in policy.
• Higher levels of expenditures are associated with higher levels of academic performance.
• Boys' and girls' schools have similar levels of resources and spending, but the shifting composition of teaching staff at each may upset this equitable balance.
• Choice has been only partially effective in improving accountability because of limited capacity at Independent schools.
