These days there is much more to the work of school business managers (SBMs) than signing a few invoices and making sure all the dinner money is counted. These highly skilled leaders now play an increasingly valuable role in helping head teachers to focus on leading teaching and learning, and provide a strategic focus on how all school classes, including nursery and reception, can work together to provide the best results for children.
