SRMA

EPI is pleased to announce our appointment as the School Resource Management Advisor (SRMA) Accreditation Body. We will induct, train and accredit all SRMAs until 2024.

School Resource Management Advisers (SRMAs) are ‘school business experts’ who use their expertise to help schools, which includes LAs schools and trusts to drive transformational change within the sector. They will do this by supporting schools to maximise their use of resources to deliver positive educational outcomes including thorough effective integration of curriculum and financial planning.

Academy trusts and LA maintained schools who have come to the department’s attention as having poor financial health, either now or in the future will be prioritised for support, but SRMAs are also be deployed to help schools at lower risk consider different ways to use their resources more effectively. SRMAs will take a holistic view of the school’s financial situation and make recommendations that take account of the individual contexts. SRMAs will need to be experienced professionals with extensive up-to-date and practical experience and knowledge of the sector, and a record of success in their profession.

People working in an educationally or financially failing institution are unlikely to be suitable to be School Resource Management Advisers.

We are proud to work with schools, academies and trusts in the UK and Internationally through a range of resource management projects, providing interim support as well as supporting specific projects
