Duncan & Toplis On Air is the Duncan & Toplis podcast, hosted by our Chief Marketing Officer, Caroline Cleary. Each month, Caroline will be joined by special guests to bring you current news, key sector updates and valuable insights through engaging conversations.
In this session of Duncan & Toplis On Air, Caroline is joined by Rachel Barrett, Business Services Director and Head of Academies at Duncan & Toplis, to discuss the recently released 2025 Kreston UK Academies Benchmark Report.
Rachel shares her initial thoughts and reaction to the report, highlighting the most important findings, such as a third of trusts now holding less than 5% reserves, and 81% of trusts indicating that teacher costs were their biggest financial challenges.
