THE REMODELLING OF SCHOOLS The education sector has evolved dramatically in recent years, most significantly in the leadership and financial management of schools.

The introduction of the bursar role has completely re-engineered the businesses of schools. The results for educational establishments are excellent – with leadership teams made up of business and financial experts as well as educational experts, they are more focused, more vibrant and more effective than ever.

EDUCATION: THEN, NOW AND TOMORROW

INCREASED FUNDING NEEDS INCREASED MANAGEMENT As schools have seen more devolved budgets and autonomy, an increase in intelligent purchasing and business savvy management has become the norm.

❝

THE ROLE OF THE BURSAR AT SECONDARY LEVEL IS CEMENTED AND STRONG Secondary schools have largely moved to a business model of management. The possibility of executive leadership by business managers with no teaching experience is an increasingly popular idea, supported by industry associations who have been particularly vocal about the need for leaders whose explicit skills are in business and company management.

Bursars at secondary level are in place, here to stay, and the people to influence when it comes to purchasing spend!

After four successful years for Education Executive in the education sector, much has changed.

THEN… On 15 January 2003, a National Agreement was signed between the secretary of state for education, and the employers and schools workforce unions.

The agreement was designed to help teachers to focus on their teaching by freeing them from tasks that can be done by other appropriately trained staff.

At this time the bursarial role was little known but evolving within state educational establishments, specifically at secondary level education.

NOW… More than two thirds of secondary schools and one third of primary schools use a dedicated bursar or business manager for financial management.

There are 147,000 full time support staff in maintained schools, up from 75,000 in 1997 – that's almost double!

More than 95 per cent of secondary schools have a distinct business management structure in their schools, overseen by someone in a dedicated financial management role.

TOMORROW… The NCSL initiative, and the continuing agenda of workforce reform, means that school management at primary level is changing.

A PwC report, commissioned by the government in 2007, found that 61 per cent of primary heads would like to delegate more financial and business management tasks.

Headteachers, particularly in the primary sector, are reporting that their role has grown significantly, with increasing organisational complexity. * Independent Study into School Leadership, 2007, Price Waterhouse Coopers

THE PRIMARY SECTOR IS IN A HUGE STATE OF FLUX WITH BUSINESS MANAGEMENT HIGH ON THE AGENDA The primary sector has been slightly slower to follow with dedicated business managers, but it is certainly not ignoring the need for a business approach to school management.

More than one third of primary schools have a dedicated bursar or SBM. In schools where this isn't the case, headteachers run the finance management on a daily basis. Add to that the fact that nearly 60 per cent of primary headteachers say that implementing new ideas, initiatives and strategies takes up most of their time; and it's clear that business management is big on the agenda.

Although the demographics vary at primary and secondary level, one thing remains constant: purchasing decision makers are those in the financial and business management role within schools. Whether that be a bursar, school business manager or headteacher at primary level – the purchasing buck stops with them. And there's more buck to go around today than ever before.

For example: Funding per pupil has seen a real term increase of 40 per cent per pupil between 1998 and 2006 ICT in schools has seen more than 580 per cent increase in funding between 1999 and 2005!

IN SUMMARY So, the education sector is changing again, and as schools get more control and more freedom to make their decisions, as well as the curriculum changing and putting more pressure on budgets, the needs of the primary and secondary sectors are becoming more acute and more specific.

❝

Currently, over 5,000

school business managers have either completed, or are undertaking, a development course from the NCSL.

SECTOR

DEVELOPING THE ROLE...

FOCUSED INFORMATIVE FRESH Our role is to facilitate good communication across what is acknowledged to be a key purchasing audience within the education sector. Our readers are by far the most important point of influence for education supplies and services. But they are extremely busy people with varied roles. It's therefore difficult for suppliers to get their messages through to them without strong marketing vehicles.

This is where our high-quality, focused publications come in.

E

d Exec's audience has always been those dealing with business and financial management in schools. At its inception we ensured that the only people who received the magazine were decision makers, purse string holders, financial executives and business managers. Ed Exec has been a vital source of information, support, advice and guidance for these people, across both the secondary and primary sectors already, but is now getting even better.

As the business management agenda in schools has grown we have evolved to react to this change, by diversifying our publishing offering.

The development of Ed Exec into specialised primary and secondary magazines is the next step in ensuring that we keep this promise, continuing

our commitment to excellent publishing, by ensuring bursars and business managers read only that which is of specific relevance to them.

By diversifying our offering, we will deliver a dedicated magazine for those responsible for the business management in schools, depending on whether they work in primary or secondary schools. It means that our editorial can focus more heavily on the key issues that are of interest to them, and deliver on-remit copy from start to finish.

Ed Exec Primary and Ed Exec Secondary offer manufacturers the platform to communicate effectively to a highly influential audience in a consistent, strategic and effective manner.

EDUCATION EXECUTIVE >primary is a management solution for anyone concerned with the business and financial aspects of running a primary school. The magazine supports the business, financial and management role in schools, focusing on the unique set up and structure of primary schools, which means appealing to those people concerned with larger curriculum and whole school management issues.

EDUCATION EXECUTIVE >secondary is a management solution for bursars and school business managers in secondary schools. We write on target editorial covering all aspects of the bursarial role including: finances, funding, business management, health and safety, premises, HR, personnel, professional development, catering, building development and more.

SECTOR

TWO MAGAZINES, ONE SECTOR

OUR SOLUTION

The role of business managers in primary schools is under the spotlight, with government-backed plans to develop this part of the primary school workforce and the availability of more funding than ever before.

W

e know that there is already a large pool of expertise and many examples of good practice in primary schools across the UK. There are already many bursars in the larger primaries, and a number of smaller primaries are sharing a bursar.

However, if there is no bursar then the

headteacher will take a lot of the responsibility for financial and business management.

So, the individuals in the financial management role at primary level currenty are a mix of bursars, financial managers and headteachers.

SO WHAT'S THE ANSWER? The NCSL has been given the go ahead from the government to begin some sustained work on primary school leadership, including developing further the role of highly skilled school business managers which is expected to save up to a third of headteachers' time.

Two new roles – with the associated training plans – Advanced School Business Managers (ASBM) and School Business Directors (SBD) are to be introduced. Building on existing

successful school business management models, it is believed that ASBMs and SBDs could bring significant benefits by creating extra leadership capacity and reducing headteachers' workload so they can focus more on the key priorities.

IN SUMMARY The bursarial role is set to grow rapidly in the primary sector, further building on the existing base of excellent specialists in this field. In the mean time, a mix of headteachers and school business managers will continue to take overall responsibility for the business management.

So, a magazine designed to help with business management per se in primary education, whether that be to headteachers or specially trained individuals, will really add value.

It isn't so much WHO we write for, but WHAT we are doing to help them in their role – if we keep our focus there, they'll keep reading!

DRIVERS FOR CHANGE HUGE GOVERNMENT COMMITMENT TO ADDRESS LEADERSHIP IN PRIMARIES a long term trend to improve leadership teams, business management and support staff provision, and make best use of increased administrative and bursarial support.

FMSIS a financial management standard being rolled out across primaries.

LEADERSHIP bursars can now train up to achieve a leadership qualification which sees them take over the management of schools.

INDEPENDENT STUDY INTO SCHOOL LEADERSHIP a PwC report commissioned by the government in 2007 to assess the state of leadership in primary and secondary education, shows the current state of affairs in and the need for change.

Independent Study into School Leadership: SUMMARY ■ HR and premises management is often the domain of heads in a school with no bursar.

■ Over a third of primary schools use a bursar for financial management.

■ Finance takes up 31 per cent of a primary head's time.

■ SEN is a big issue at primary level: 26 per cent of heads say it takes up most of their time as opposed to five per cent in secondaries.

■ Currently, primary schools have smaller senior leadership teams, nearly one in five primaries have just two members of staff on the senior leadership team.

■ If there is no bursar then the head teacher will take a lot of the responsibility for financial and business management.

PRIMARY

THE SECTOR PRIMARY

WHAT IMPACT DOES THIS HAVE ON THE EDUCATIONAL LEADERSHIP OF SCHOOLS? Headteachers, particularly in the primary sector, are reporting that their role has grown significantly with increasing organisational complexity. Nearly 60 per cent of primary headteachers say that implementing new ideas, initiatives and strategies takes up most of their time. Twice as many primary schools think there is a lack of financial knowledge in their school.

All of this would be sufficient to confirm that, while the headteacher is currently doing much of the management role, there is a definite need for dedicated individuals in the role.

funding settlements, not forgetting the 14–19 Diplomas which will represent a huge organisational challenge; strategic skills will be needed now more than ever!

IN SUMMARY Financial management in secondary schools is carried out almost exclusively by bursars, business managers or finance managers and, as the remodelling agenda continues, bursars take on an ever greater management role – overseeing teams of support staff and managing increasingly complex budgets. The need for support in dealing with increasingly strategic leadership roles, as well as retaining the foundation of good business sense and financial advice, is essential.

In Education Executive Secondary, our editorial strategy is to support bursars and business managers in the same way that has proved so successful for the last few years will continue!

The articles on strategy and future changes in the sector remind me that I am not just in this post to perform the operational

day job, but to be a part of the development of the school and ultimately contribute to an improved quality of learning for the students.

THROW OUTS THROW OUT INSIDE FRONT COVER = 3 PAGES The inside front cover folds out from the magazine – on opening the front cover you see an eye catching single page that then folds out into a double page spread – you get three pages of coverage to use for adverts, advertorials or a combination of the two! It’s very high impact – a great way to make a splash!

Other things to consider TIP ON/SAMPLING With more innovative products here’s a chance to affix samples to your advert within the magazine, allow your reader to actually see, feel and touch the product. Alternatively attach a marketing gimmick (post it notes, mouse mats, wobblers etc.) branded with a promo or company details.

SPONSORSHIP/BRAND PROMOTION Something a bit different, a bespoke sponsorship position aligns you with the magazine and the good will that goes with that. For example, regularly sponsoring a feature or article within the magazine, or, alternatively supporting an entire section.

READER REPLY CARD Designed to drive response for promotions and incentives. Works brilliantly in association with a half page advertorial promoting the offer. This could be used to drive enquiries or referrals or simply as an information request facility.

INSERTS, DIRECT MAILERS & CONTRACT PUBLISHING Contact us for more information.

THROW OUT IN CORE OF MAGAZINE = 4 PAGES Follows the same principle as the roll out front cover but is placed in the core of the magazine and rolls out to the right. Starts with a double page spread (DPS) in the magazine followed by a double-sided page folding out from the magazine. Very effective when used as a reply mechanism or promotional offer – we can even perforate the throw out to create a voucher that can be sent back to you, provide added information or work as a gimmick to be retained by the reader.

VENDOR PROFILES The only inclusion we carry that's designed to fit with the style and feel of the magazine. It looks like an Education Executive feature, but is paid for, so it is your agenda. It can be written and designed by us and is, in our opinion, an imperative part of any marketing plan. Used as a platform, it is an opportunity to communicate strategic messages about your organisation, as well as the details of a new campaign or promotion. A great way to make our readers sit up and take notice.

BANNER ADVERTS Horizontal or vertical, double or single page, running across the bottom or along the outside edge of the page. Banners can run in multiples of 3, 5, 8 or just on their own, on consecutive pages or scattered throughout the magazine – a great alternative to standard page advertising for increased brand recognition.
