Making sure your school is running smoothly on a daily basis while working within the confines of strict budgets and scarce capital funding is a challenging part of any School Business Manager’s role
Supporting School Business Managers
A smooth-running school involves maintaining safety, security, and statutory compliance. That’s why you need clear insight into every aspect of the management process.
To demonstrate financial prudence and secure future funding, you need to build confidence in the school’s spending decisions, making sure budgets and capital are used as effectively as possible across loads of different areas.
But given the sheer number of tasks you have to manage on a daily basis, finding the time and gaining the visibility needed to stay in control isn’t exactly easy.
That’s where Statlog comes in...
