The School Premises Handbook: a guide for premises staff, business managers, headteachers and governors Summary

The School Premises Handbook: a guide for premises staff, business managers, headteachers and governors by Jo Marchant

A handbook to inform school premises staff, business managers, headteachers and governors in England of their legal responsibilities around buildings compliance.

As well as exploring the impact of school buildings and grounds on student learning, The School Premises Handbook covers the working environment, fire safety, health and safety, statutory compliance duties, planning for maintenance, risk assessments, energy efficiency, environmental sustainability, and managing and developing a premises team. Jo Marchant, a highly experienced head of estates, introduces key legislation, further information sources, and an action checklist.

New premises staff will find a wealth of information, from what to do on their first day in the role to planning the year-long cycle of maintenance activities. More experienced premises staff will also gain plenty of useful insights. School business managers will find advice on managing premises staff and developing their school estate. Headteachers will be informed of their responsibilities for ensuring their schools are safe and compliant. And governors and trustees will learn how to hold school leadership to account.
