What Our Customers Say

CEO, mat in chester

I think Services 4 Schools’ greatest strength is their flexibility and adaptability. When we have needed additional advice and support – for example, when new schools have joined the trust, or a school has struggled with their new financial responsibilities – Services 4 Schools have been quick to react and provide the support we need. We have also been impressed with their ability to provide quality advice both at individual school level and finance director level

Headteacher, school in walsall

I transferred our HR consultancy services from the Local Authority to S4S (Services 4 Schools) almost 6 years ago as I was looking for a professional service that places the children at the heart of its work, just as we do. It has become one of the best decisions that I made for the children, staff and the school.

school business manager, walsall

S4S are a great support in managing aspects of the schools data and finance.  Staff are helpful and supportive and provide advice and guidance throughout the academic year on a variety of subjects including Census, statutory submissions and budget management.  The service is invaluable in saving time and resources particularly during busier periods of the school year.
