Conclusion

Strategic estates management is crucial for the success of any school or MAT. By developing and implementing a comprehensive estates management plan, schools can ensure that their facilities are well-maintained, safe, and conducive to learning. This not only benefits the students and staff but also enhances the reputation of the school and helps attract talented individuals to join the institution. By involving the wider school community and having a clear focus on achieving specific and realistic objectives, schools can make the most of their resources and provide the best possible educational environment for their pupils to thrive.

How iAM Compliant can help!

We’re pleased to now have available our Estates Management tool as part of iAM Compliant!

Working directly with schools and multi-academy trusts to make sure it truly suits your needs, this game-changing tool allows you to:

• Save precious time and money – No more searching folders and databases, it’s all in one place!

• Prioritise problem areas – You can check the status of your estate at a glance with building-condition reports and see what needs to be fixed urgently.

• Keep on top of energy usage – Keep sustainability and those ever-increasing energy costs in mind as the tool shows your usage trends, including where energy is used (and wasted)!

• Allocate your budget accordingly – Knowing what needs to be repaired and refreshed at a glance allows you to properly budget for it and forecast future funding.

• See if your space is being used properly – Multiple rooms, multiple buildings, no bother. The tool lets you drill down to specify the type and usage of every space.
