The National Association of School Business Management (formerly the National Bursars Association) is the UK’s leading association working exclusively on behalf of the school business management profession. Our membership includes school business managers, bursars, finance officers, administrators, school secretaries and others who fulfill this important role.
The Association, established to support the training, qualification and professional regulation of the role of school business managers has, since 1999, been offering qualifications and Fellow status at the academic level of masters' degree. Increasingly the Association has recognised the importance of Continuous Professional Development for its members and provides a full professional programme to support this.
The Association offers the profession an influential voice in national educational policy and continually strives to raise the profile of school business management. We aim to provide professional advice and support to all of our members.
Extended school activitiesAll schools are expected to provide extended services and these services are expected to become self funding. If income from extended services exceeds £5000, it must be paid to some sort of charitable institution. The charitable institution will either be the school itself, if eligible, or a charitable trust or charity set up to handle the funds. Refer to Guidance on the Extended Schools Initiative and the provision of pre-school childcare, Charity Commision guidance .
