The Curriculum, Organisation, Staffing and Management Of a School can all be analysed to give information about such matters as the staff pupil ratio, staff loading, average class size.

COSMOS is a statistical tool and a Consultant familiar with its application can demonstrate its use to S.L.T. and/or Governors.

It can then be used to identify where unnecessary expense is being incurred and where changes in the curriculum layout and staff loading can effect changes in the staffing budget
