How Can Your School Save Money This Year?
Make the best use of your funding; here is how your school can save money. Take these steps to make education budgets more cost-effective in challenging times.
To say that the finances of educational institutions have come under pressure in recent years would be quite an understatement. Even before the fresh wave of strain brought by escalating energy costs over the past year or so, Government cuts had long exerted downward pressure on expenditure per pupil in our schools. So, if you are looking to coordinate the best possible use of our own school’s finite budget, what steps could you take to save money?
The below courses of action will likely serve you well amid an economic climate that looks to remain challenging for some time.
Save By Encouraging Responsible Energy Use By Staff And Students
Hopefully, by this point in the energy crisis, you will have gone some way to cultivating the right behaviour and culture among school staff and pupils. That will include clarifying to everyone how important it is to be mindful of their energy use and to make responsible decisions accordingly.
All those “little habits” – such as always switching off lights and electrical equipment when they aren’t being used – will certainly add up when it comes to the impact on your school’s bottom line.
Such modest but crucial changes could also include keeping doors and windows closed wherever possible to prevent warm or cool air from escaping and removing obstructions from windows and radiators so that classrooms get plentiful natural light and energy is not wasted.
Review And Optimise Your School’s Tech Use
If your school hasn’t yet got into the habit of carrying out a thorough “tech audit” from time to time – the term referring to a process whereby your institution’s technological assets and devices are documented and scrutinised – the present moment could be an excellent time to start.
With the use of technological devices such as laptops and tablets having become much more mainstream in schools in recent years, by this point, your school might have accumulated specific hardware and software that it simply doesn’t need.
More to the point, your tech audit could give you a clear overview of opportunities to free up funds that you might have otherwise missed. Software subscriptions can be a classic problem in this regard, as it can be easy to start certain subscriptions and then overlook the need to cancel them as the school’s needs change.
Your school’s technological devices and assets shouldn’t just be documented – it should also be clear what purposes they serve and whether those are still important.
As we examined above, certain day-to-day habits among students and staff are crucial – ensuring devices are powered off outside school hours to prevent avoidable energy wastage.
Expand Your School And Save Money With Modular Construction
Very few schools can afford to hit the ‘pause’ button on investment, not least given that their needs will inevitably evolve. Plus, with school budgets significantly constrained for years, few decision-makers within such institutions can afford to ‘wait for the storm to pass’ before committing to urgently needed rebuilding, refurbishment, and expansion projects.
The good news is that, in any case, schools don’t need to wait for more favourable economic times that might allow governments to loosen the purse strings again. That’s because today’s modular school buildings in the UK can offer exceptional cost-effectiveness, not least thanks to their versatility and adaptability in line with an institution’s requirements at any given time.
