School Business Leaders Forum

Who are we?

A collective of School Business Leaders working together to drive improvement in the business operations of schools and academies across the Bradford district. We are proud to have colleagues from over 80 establishments currently subscribing to the forum and our membership is growing each year.

What do we do?

Our motto is "Alone we are Strong but Together we are Stronger". 

We work collaboratively by sharing our knowledge, experience and ideas to achieve excellence in school business management across our individual schools. Our networking opportunities are informative but most importantly, supportive and welcoming with the wellbeing of our members being at the heart of our events.

For our forum members, advice is only on the other side of an email thread as we continue to strive in helping one another navigate the unpredictable landscape of the education sector.

How can you get involved?

We welcome new members from a wide range of roles and our network can benefit those colleagues working within any of the following functions; Business Management, Finance, HR, Health and Safety and Administration.

Schools can subscribe to the SBL Forum for an annual fee of £65 which includes a ticket to the annual SBL conference, termly in-person networking events, and access to the forum email distribution list.
