Bursars and School Business Managers

Pensions Meeting for SBMs and Bursars

Negotiations are underway with public sector pension schemes. The NAHT is currently working with other teacher unions on the sector specific negotiations for the Teachers’ Pension Scheme.

Given that School Business Managers / Bursars are not generally part of the Teachers’ Pension Scheme, we need to consider what support the Association can offer as part of the ongoing negotiations.

We would like to discuss with a small group of SBMs / Bursars how the campaign would be best moved forward for SBMs / Bursars and their specific pension scheme. If you would be interested in being part of this discussion please contact Kat Millard on 01444 472461 or email kat.millard@naht.org.uk. The meeting will be on Wednesday 23 November in the afternoon at the Doubletree Hilton, London West End – we envisage starting about 2.00 pm and the meeting lasting about two hours.

Unfortunately there won’t be a dial in facility on this occasion, and places will be allocated on a first come, first served basis.

We really would welcome your participation (our apologies for the short notice) and look forward to hearing back from you at the earliest opportunity.
