Many schools employ school business managers individually, however some small schools may have difficulty employing a full-time school business manager, even though their needs and responsibilities may be similar to those of larger schools.
Schools in such situations may consider sharing the services of a school business manager with other schools in a number of ways.
The download, 'Sample models of school business manager deployment' contains several different models of deployment that suit schools of different sizes in a variety of settings, including models for sharing a school business manager in a local authority or federation of schools.
A smaller proportion of primary schools currently have school business managers compared to secondary schools. The NCSL is working with us and other key stakeholders to ensure that all primary schools have access to school business management skills in the future.
