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.
