Bursary & Administration Support

Available for both maintained schools and academies

For schools that currently have vacancies in their finance and administration functions, SMS can offer an experienced member of our team to provide cover on a short or long term basis.

In some cases we find some of our schools choose to use SMS to cover the finance-related tasks for longer periods, usually over 1 or 2 days a week, leaving school staff to focus on other areas.

Schools use a variety of different systems, and our staff are familiar with the most commonly-used, including the following:

• SMS FMS6

• RM Finance

• Civica

• PS Financials

• Sage

We are also able to provide support to advise and cover absences in your HR function, covering s:

• Personnel checks

• Maintenance of records

• Contract preparation

• Documentation for annual pay awards

• Recruitment administration

or simply undertake a health check to ensure school’s systems are compliant.
