You have been invited to the SBS School Business Network at SBS House, Poole.

Please note that there are other sessions designed for School Business Leaders on this date. Details at the bottom of this page.

Following on from our successful session in the academic year 2017/18, hosted by Shelli Randall (Senior Finance Consultant), we are pleased to announce the next date is Wednesday 17th October 2018.

We began this network as School Business Leaders had expressed a desire to meet to establish a strong supportive network locally where they can discuss current issues, share best-practice, and offer an understanding ear for the unique challenges that they face in their diverse and ever-changing roles.

Never fear if you didn't attend our previous date. Each session has a self-contained structure and agenda, designed to provide insight, topical debates so that our delegates will leave information to apply in their day-to-day roles.

Refreshments and pastries will be provided!
