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.

Jo Marchant is Head of Estates at a multi-academy trust and has worked in school business leadership and management for the past 14 years. She has an MBA and an MA in Leadership, and is a qualified health and safety officer. She is a Fellow of the Institute of School Business Leadership (ISBL) and serves on the steering group of The Trust Network for school estates professionals.

Jo spent 12 years working in maintained special schools, where she had responsibility for managing premises and capital build projects. She lobbied the Department for Education to set up the National Network of Special Schools, which was formed in 2020. She is a School Resource Management Adviser and a Specialist Leader of Education.

In 2016, Jo was awarded an ISBL Chief Executive Award for Exceptional Contribution to the Development of the SBM Profession, for raising the profile of special schools and contribution to international research. In 2021, Jo became the first school business practitioner to have her empirical research into school business leadership published in a peer-reviewed journal.
