Our Services

Our team is passionate about supporting education in Gloucestershire with a range of efficient and compliant Business Services.

We provide Finance, Human Resources, Estates Management, Procurement and IT Services to enable excellence in teaching and learning. Our agile systems support our schools’ individuality.

We pride ourselves on a solutions-orientated approach, all starting with one key question: ‘How can we help you make this happen for your school?’

CBAT Schools adopt all our Central Services so they can concentrate on education in their community. We charge a 5% GAG (revenue) income for this. Schools tell us this is more cost-effective than the County-Traded Services solutions. Working together, we can make your business support structures work for you.

IT Services

IT Services

We trust Concero to provide excellence, compliance and innovation in your school’s IT provision. The IT Team, based in a Trust school and working closely with the CBAT Operations Team, draw on the expertise and experience of the wider organisation with a responsive helpdesk, strategic development team and procurement support.

Estates Management

Estates Management

We know that your learning environment is one of the key drivers in parental choice. We’ll help you maximise the presentation, cost efficiency and use of your space. We have an excellent track record of securing capital funding and using local service providers who care about our communities.

Finance

Finance

We use Microsoft Business Central software to record your school’s income, expenditure and assets separately to facilitate reporting to you, your Governors and the ESFA. We will manage your External and Internal Audits, Pensions Audits and School Fund Reporting.

In the meantime, you retain control of your annual budget, with the backup of a larger organisation that can source additional streams of funding.

Human Resources and Payroll

Human Resources and Payroll

Our HR and Payroll Team provide all the day-to-day activities to support the recruitment, payment and wellbeing of your staff. We adhere to KCSiE’s Safer Recruitment, STPC, the Burgundy Book and the Green Book. We know that Gloucestershire is a wonderful place to live, and we can help you help your staff strike that work-life balance.
