Practical Tools to Support Professional School Business Managers:
Time-saving checklists, worked examples and training
Skilled School Business Managers save schools time and money
Research commissioned by the National College for School Leadership (NCSL) suggests that skilled, professional school business managers (SBMs) can save almost one third of a headteacher's time and up to £18,000 a year in primary schools, or up to £56,000 a year in secondary schools. This gives headteachers more time and money to invest in strategic leadership, teaching and learning.
Practical support for the School Business Manager
As more responsibilities are devolved to schools from local authorities, the role of SBM is becoming more diverse, bringing the need for them to develop their skills. To give SBMs, bursars and administrative staff professional tools to help to ensure that their skills are put to full use in helping to run schools effectively, we have developed Practical Tools to Support Professional School Business Managers.
Using this straightforward CD-ROM, together with the companion handbook to support your administration staff, you’ll be able to:
- Improve value for money outcomes
- Enable better financial management and fundraising in your school with our practical tips, checklists and spreadsheets to increase the amount you can spend on teaching and learning
- Realise economies of scale and save money by utilizing our ideas about working with other schools to increase your purchasing power.

- Free up administration staff’s time to support the headteacher with strategic planning by using our time-saving customisable policies and forms.
