NAHT launches new school business leaders report

Today (12 January 2022), NAHT releases its new report, entitled School business leadership in crisis? Making school business leadership sustainable​.

The report is based on the findings from a survey of our school business leader (SBL) members in England – where we asked about their pay, well-being and workloads – undertaken at the end of 2021.

The report highlights the many different pressures that the school business leadership profession is facing and makes a series of recommendations about what needs to change to make school business leadership a sustainable career choice.

The report will be launched at a members-only online town hall meeting at 5pm this evening (all relevant members in England will have received an invitation to this from NAHT's organising team). 

At the meeting we’ll set out the main research findings and let you know how you can take simple and quick actions to ensure your voice is heard. There will also be an opportunity to discuss the issues raised and ask any questions you may have.

A link to the full report will be available on this SBL crisis page from 4.50pm tonight.

The life members' sector council (LMSC)

Whether leaving a labour of love or embracing a life of leisure, there can be no doubt that retirement from school leadership marks a huge change in lifestyle. There will be adjustments to make, new challenges to take and a range of new opportunities. At a time like this, it is important that our experienced members do not lose all the support they received in their working life. Our LMSC is here to ensure members are supported in retirement.

This council feeds its extensive wealth of experience and know-how to support the work of NAHT. It also gives our life members the chance to make important contributions to our campaigns for working members. It meets four times a year and is made up of one elected representative from each of our regions, with the addition of one place each for Northern Ireland and Wales. These elected committee members normally serve a three-year term.

Areas of focus for the LMSC include the following: 

  • current legislation issues, eg pension provision
  • action against discrimination, including age discrimination.
