Community Use Business Plan For School - Template (Page 2 of 10) in pdf

local hub. Our vision is to support our students to be confident and respectful young adults who are valuable citizens that make a

positive contribution to their local community.

We will encourage our students to get involved with community clubs to nurture important skills particularly in leadership and

volunteering.

We would like to engage with hard to reach parents through an accessible community use programme and support our staff to stay

healthy by offering them subsidised access to physical activity during community hours.

How does your vision link to your local authority strategic priorities?

For example:

Our local authority Best Council Plan highlights a key priority to reduce crime and anti-social behaviour by children and young people

aged 10-17 years over the next three years. We will support this by providing a youth programme on Friday evenings which will target

disengaged young people and will be subsidised from our wider community programme.

How is your community use managed and operated? Outline who is responsible for taking bookings, collecting payments and budget

monitoring, opening and closing the building, customer service, security, setting up equipment, health and safety, developing new

business etc.

For Example

The School Business Manager line manages a part time Community facility manager and monitors the finances. The School Site

Manager and site caretaking staff open and close the building and deal with any site security or maintenance issues. We have changed

the cleaning schedule so that our cleaners carry out a light clean at the end of the school day and before community use is in operation,

then a heavy clean in the morning before the start of the school day.

The Community Facility Manager deals with bookings, provides customer service during community hours and also has a development

role to establish new partnerships and funding opportunities.

Are you planning to make any future changes in line with the development of your business (for example moving from managing the

community use in-house using core school staff to using a third party or employing designated community use staff?)
