Save the date: Friday 6th June 2025
Now in its fourth year, National School Business Leaders’ Day is an opportunity to recognise and celebrate the invaluable contribution of School Business Leaders (SBLs) across the country.
Each year, schools, Trusts and education partners mark the day by shining a spotlight on the dedication, resilience and impact of their SBLs. School Business Leaders are the strategic backbone of every school, ensuring resources are used effectively to create the best outcomes for pupils. From managing budgets and operations to driving innovation and supporting leadership teams, SBLs play a vital role in the success and sustainability of education.
Nominate your SBL for National SBL of the Year 2025
Now a much-loved feature of National School Business Leaders’ Day, the National SBL of the Year Award returns for 2025.
This award recognises one outstanding School Business Leader who has gone above and beyond to make a difference — whether through innovation, resilience, leadership or community impact. It’s our way of celebrating the exceptional people behind the role and the value they bring to the education sector every single day.
