School Business Manager Services
|
Increasingly, schools are recognising
the benefits of adding a School Business Manager (SBM) to
their leadership team structure. SBMs bring an additional
perspective to the leadership and management of a school and
are generally highly experienced and qualified leaders who
specialise in school financial management, HR procedures,
premises and facilities management, extended schools and health
and safety.
The impact of an SBM is immediate, with a diverse
role that covers issues such as:
- Strategic medium-term financial planning, linked
to the school improvement plan
- Leading on sustainability
- Freeing up time spent by Head Teachers and other
senior leaders
- Supporting school improvement through expert input
- Allowing the Head Teacher to use their time more
productively to improve the quality of teaching and
learning
- Using resources creatively, for example bidding
for additional funds or generating income through
a more ‘businesslike’ approach.
- Adding additional insight and fresh perspective
to a school’s leadership team, to support whole
school improvement.

How can we help?
At Place, we know that some schools simply can’t afford
or justify the cost of employing a full time School Business
Manager, and that’s where our bespoke service is making
a real difference. We can work with you to identify the level
of support you need, and then provide a highly experienced
and qualified School Business Manager. This will add leadership
capacity to your school, freeing up your time, and that of
your SLT, to focus on raising standards through improved teaching
and learning.
Simply put, you can opt for as much or as little
support as you need, starting from just one day per week,
which gives you the opportunity to access this valuable expertise
without the risk or the cost. We also offer interim School
Business Managers for schools that need to cover a vacant
post, or need additional support at key times.
