Articles

SCEMES Ltd is committed to bringing you up to date information about school procurement and ensuring that Headteachers and Bursars have all the information they need to make informed decisions about purchasing.

For this reason, we’ve collated articles from well recognised organisations and bodies which are well placed to offer expert opinion and analysis on the theme of educational procurement.

This section contains articles from renowned and authoritative sources; the National College for School Leadership (NCSL) The Association of School and College Leaders (ASCL) and the Training and Development Agency for Schools (TDA).

Their insights into school procurement and leadership, together with their practical advice on school management issues are invaluable in helping you understand the full implications of planning a school budget and maximising the impact of the resources available to you.

These articles were kindly written for the 2009 edition of the Headteachers and Bursars Handbook of Procurement, which has been sent free to 32,000 schools nationwide. If you would like to request a copy of the Handbook, please click here.
