“Spinning plates" is how one SBM described managing lettings on top of core duties. At School Space, we're changing that: ✅ Fewer booking issues ✅ Uplift in revenue & usage ✅ More professional experience for hirers Lettings don't have to feel like a full-time job!

Schools are bracing for impact➡️ tes.com/magazine/news/… In this uncertain landscape, every extra £ matters. It's no silver bullet, but for many schools, securing additional revenue from community lettings means one less cut, one more staff member, and fewer sleepless nights.

We’ve created a practical guide to help schools uncover hidden profitability in their lettings strategy—and identify smart opportunities for growth. Read the full article: school-space.org/news/assessing…

With uncertainty around pay rises adding pressure to already stretched budgets, now’s the time to look at the income you can control: Lettings income! On average, our schools generate enough to cover 3 teacher salaries- room to invest in your people, priorities, and future 🏫

With the proposed 2.8% teacher wage increase next year, budgets will be feeling the strain. Lettings can be a powerful way to offset rising costs—many secondary schools in our network generate the equivalent of 3 teacher salaries per year through facility hire alone!

With 1 in 7 schools likely to be in a budget deficit for this academic year, it's time to consider whether lettings are making you enough of a profit to help bridge that financial gap. Take inspiration from Uxbridge High School's success with lettings: school-space.org/news/an-interv…

Have you considered all the wonderful ways your school facilities could be used after hours? Coaches, instructors, teachers, pastors and community group organisers are looking for spaces near you. Make sure your school is the top choice as a venue!
