Hidden levers:
Remission inertia: small reductions in teaching loads becoming permanent fixtures, without strategic review
Structural curriculum costs: analysing curriculum delivery to identify where staffing density exceeds educational requirements
Administrator-Teachers: identifying where your highly qualified staff meet your administrative demands, and how that can be delivered more cost effectively by professional support teams
Deployment transparency: working through staffing arrangements in specialised areas where opaque arrangements create extra expenditure.
My report would include:
Strategic insights: A balanced audit that recognises your strengths, puts forwards recommendations and identifies areas for consideration
Overview of potential annual savings: organised by area and providing clarity for your decision making
Financial Modelling: setting out how this amends your forward looking financial models
My goal is not to tell you what you should do; it's to ensure that you know what your current structures are costing you, so that you can choose where to invest and where to save.
