This has been an incredibly hard few years for those of us that work in schools and I don’t know about you, but the last few have just got harder and harder.
If you haven’t already joined one of our networking groups, why not?
We need each other! We are better together, not isolated, come and join us!
We operate our networking groups for school business professionals in:
-
Cambridgeshire
-
Lincolnshire
-
Peterborough
Newly launched! Our Eastern Region Networking Hub for Senior Leaders!
We are listed on the DfE School Business Professional Network page, so that we can be included in the events, information and training sessions that the DfE make available for school administration staff.
We all work in a generally isolating environment, and it is often difficult to meet other professionals doing the same job as you, that understand the difficult and trying working environment that is what this community is for, please help us to grow our communities.
The success of the groups depends on people joining and taking part.
Join us @:
The annual membership runs from 1 January until 31 December and the cost is just £50.00, this is to support the cost of the online forum.
To make the group a success we need you to take part, please sign up and get together with your colleagues.
Please share this information with anyone working within the
Business/Finance/Administration and Headteachers and Senior Leaders of schools and let’s grow our community.
Please get involved! I fully appreciate how tricky things are for you and it seems to be getting harder, not easier!
