It has been confirmed that, following the recent consultation, schools will be moved over to the Unit 4 coding structure from April 2026. The recent consultation with schools had provided a 60:40 in favour of transitioning across to the new coding structure from April 26, rather than April 27.
The Education Finance Team will work with schools in the conversion of codes to the new Unit 4 coding structure. This will be completed using extracted reports from Bromcom, including cost centre ledger links, CFR and Base Pay Mapping, which will then be converted to the new codes and imported.
Further details will follow with guidance and next steps for schools in this process.
