Saturday Thoughts 💜

A week in Zante, recharging and making the most of a little autumn sunshine and blue skies. I just love Zante. It always feels calm, like coming home. Beautiful place, beautiful people and a chance to slow down and breathe.

Like many of my colleagues, I had felt the pressure of Autumn 1. It was relentless, and that recharge was very much needed!

I was scrolling through social media when I came across this quote, and it really resonated with me.

“I’m not overwhelmed because I can’t handle it. I’m overwhelmed, because I do handle it. All of it, all of the time.”

I felt that, the overwhelming feeling of constantly handling things.

We take everything on. We put the children first, the schools first, our colleagues first. We prepare, plan, organise, solve problems, juggle priorities and somehow still find ourselves wondering whether we’re doing enough or hitting the mark.

But here’s the thing.

Just because we CAN handle it doesn’t mean we ALWAYS have to.

That’s the bit we need to be careful of.

We need to remember to make time for ourselves every single day. Even if it’s just 10 minutes to get outside, go for a walk, get those steps in and be mindful of what’s around us.

Seek out those Moments Between Meetings.

Look for the moment of awe. The beautiful sky, the changing colours of the trees, the sound of birds, the sunshine on your face. Those little moments that remind us there’s a whole world outside our to-do lists.

We spend so much time looking after everyone else that sometimes we forget to look after ourselves.

Take better care of YOU.

Life is short. We need to enjoy it, make memories, find the moments of calm and, most importantly, keep the balance.

You don’t have to earn your rest by reaching the end of your to-do list. Because let’s face it, that list is never ending!

Happy Saturday. 💜

💜 FRIDAY FEELS

If you always do what you’ve always done…

Sometimes, there is another way.

Struggling to recruit an experienced, qualified School Business Manager for the hours your school can afford?

Perhaps you have a long-term sickness absence, maternity leave to cover, a vacancy you just can’t fill, or simply need some additional expertise.

Whatever the challenge, you don’t have to manage it alone.

JEM Business Consulting Ltd can provide flexible, experienced school business support to help keep things moving.

💜 Short-term or long-term.
💜 Regular support or temporary cover.
💜 Virtual SBM or Virtual Finance Assistant.
💜 Access to a team of experienced professionals.

You don’t necessarily need to recruit another member of staff. You may simply need a different solution.

Your school. Your needs. Your level of support.

There is another way. Let’s have a conversation.

💜 Friday thoughts…

It’s not just about the number. It’s what you do with it.

One of the things I love about school business management is that the numbers rarely tell the whole story. A budget figure is a starting point. The really important conversations begin when we ask what sits behind it.

With Notional SEN Budgets, that means looking beyond the allocation and thinking about the additional provision our schools are actually funding. SEN is very close to my heart and is largely why I got into working in schools but that story is for another day!

Are we joining up the financial picture with the needs we are meeting?

Are the right people around the table?

And are we using the information to help inform our decisions?

Because this isn’t just a finance conversation. It’s a conversation between the SBM, SENCO, headteacher and, where appropriate, governors.

And it deserves the time and attention.

💜 A little practical help from JEM

This week, I’ve shared my FREE JEM Notional SEN Financial Health Check Calculator to help schools bring their figures together and start asking those questions.

If you haven’t had a look yet, you’ll find it under FREE JEM School Finance Tools on our Services page.

www.jembusinessconsulting.com/services

Sometimes, taking a step back and looking at the bigger picture is where the most useful conversations begin.

And goodness knows, in schools, we could all do with a bit more time for a few more of those!

Have a lovely Friday, everyone. 💜
