@SBLCheshire @SBLconnect We moved to SCRTracker in the summer. Just had inspection and it was really easy to show all the detail. It also allows you to run reports on missing information.

@Alison_m_moon @ISBL_news @SBLconnect I second Maggie’s vote for People and Pay - Lancashire based.

Is anyone happy enough with their payroll and HR (Admin & Advisory) provider to recommend them? #SBL @ISBL_news @SBLconnect

@RoscherTracey We moved to Access in April and have removed virtually all paper from our financial processing.

Do any school colleagues use a web based purchase order system? We're trying to get rid of paper copies and make purchase requests and approvals an online process. Any recommendations please? #sbl #sbm

@JayEllePeaElle @sbl365 I had someone ask me if it was worth investing in thermals today. I said yes - already got mine on! Hands are cold though. Lancashire was very glum today.

@MaggieDuncan123 Congratulations Maggie!

I am moving onto an exciting new position in a large trust which means my school is looking for a new SBM - please share to your networks. #sbm #sbp #sbl tes.com/jobs/vacancy/s…

Does anyone use SCR Tracker #sbm #sbltwitter

@l_i_s_s_a_m_e @SBLconnect We are maintained and the LA has worked with us to look at reports so that we can still provide them with monthly accounting data.

@l_i_s_s_a_m_e @SBLconnect We moved to Access in April from FMS. We are now paperless as we can attach invoices /receipts as PDFs and the ordering side allows approvals to be done on system before emailing a PO to suppliers.

Anyone able to recommend a great system to use to support paperless finance processes please? It’s time to move on from our makeshift solution that we had to throw together for covid times 😆 #SBL #SBM #SBP @SBLconnect 🤞🏼

@newsomev Rubbish for you! Do you feel worse than last time?

What do you not want to see on your last full week in school?!? The dreaded two red lines! #covidagain #bedrest #sorethroat

@JONeillPE You can do the apprenticeship route but you need certain qualifications to start the course. I can look into this for you if you want?

I need help. I am a Teaching Assistant in the school I work at, I want to become a fully qualified PE teacher, but I don’t have the university degree to do a PGCE. Does anyone know of anything that can enable me to gain a QTS without the university degree? Apprentice? Diploma?

We're giving away a free copy of 'School Business Manager Planner.' For a chance to win, like and RT this tweet. On Monday, May 2nd, we will choose one of you at random. #edutwitter #sbltwitter #sbm

@JONeillPE Well done @JONeillPE they look smashing!

Can add attaching nets to posts to the old CV 😁

@JayEllePeaElle @accidentalSBM @SchoolsWeek @miconm @sbl365 It’s on LASBM, part of documents attached to Feb’s conference at Dunkenhalgh.

Does anyone in secondary use Applica+? Can I ask for some advice please #sbltwitter #SBM

@Matt_McIver @metoffice It was terrible - the worst so far.

Probably completely subjective, but #StormFranklin seems far worse, at least here on the #Fylde, than the @metoffice yellow warning would suggest 🤔 ⚠️

@busysbm @accidentalSBM @KellySBM123 We are with a separate payroll provider from LA and they are great. Very responsive and flexible. They are local to Lancs so may be good for you @busysbm (sorry to rest of UK) 😁

@accidentalSBM @KellySBM123 Snap!

#sbltwitter can anyone share their experience of moving away from the LA for Payroll and HR. We are considering it but want to hear feedback from those that have actually been through it? Pros and Cons are welcome :)

@busysbm @Coeliac_UK @Tesco @Morrisons @asda I complained to Marks and Spencer about this as we went for lunch and there were no gluten free options. Since then they have introduced one sandwich.

Rant time! Supermarkets really need to sort out their Gluten Free offer. It’s ridiculous, as in, zero! I’m ok if I don’t want to eat meat though - plenty of choice. I don’t have a choice. I can’t eat gluten without getting sick 😡 @Coeliac_UK @Tesco @Morrisons @asda

@BussDebbi Leadership scale or UPR with TLR? If on leadership scale you are usually not governed by directed time calculations and therefore can be asked to work in the holidays.

Secondary schools - please can you advise if a Head of 6th form should have a day off in lieu if required by school to attend A level results day? (as it will be over the 195 working days limit)? Thanks.

@SBMprojects Sent us a leaflet with advice that includes opening windows and cleaning touch points.

@newsomev I once had to pick up one with just an empty crisp packet to defend my hand! Grim!

Today’s random #SBM job! Please bring a bin bag to pick up a dead rat that’s on the field!🤮🐀
