If you manage a school you will know that
the past decade has seen a continued upsurge in legislation,
compliance and inspection requirements as well as economic and
political issues affecting schools. These, combined with the
day-to-day challenges of running a school, can mean bursars and
senior managers sometimes need to seek practical advice, share
ideas with someone in a similar position or simply locate a
listening ear.
Despite our name it is the school, not the bursar, who is the
member of ISBA. This means that our dedicated team here is
available to provide specialist advice and support to anyone at an
ISBA member school - whether it is the bursar, head, governor,
catering or maintenance manager or the office clerk. We can also
open the door for you to a supportive community of hundreds of
bursars who meet online and in person at ISBA regional group
meetings, professional development events and at our ever-popular
annual conference.
This means that every ISBA event, every post on our daily
discussion forum, every phone call, every email and every online
webinar will take you straight to someone who understands the
issues you face and who can offer you real and practical solutions
to help you manage them.
