International Conference 2008

Achieving World Class Schools
The importance of school business managers

NCSL worked in collaboration with the Training and Development Agency for Schools (TDA) to deliver this one day international conference following on from the success of last year´s conference. It provided opportunities to network across a wide spectrum of people including school leaders, school business managers, school administrators, local authority representatives, governors, training providers and government organisations.

The aims of the 2008 conference were to:

• explore international practice to see how school business managers can help to achieve the best schools in the world
• identify the benefits of school business management within the changing face of school leadership
• consider the implications of the enhanced roles of advanced school business manager and school business directors
• discover how school business managers are helping schools deliver major educational reforms through developing the whole school workforce
