TTN Webinar: 30th September, 1pm-2pm

The new School Estate Management Standards (SEMS) Return has generated a lot of discussion across the sector. Join The Trust Network for a practical session exploring what the return means in practice, and how trusts can use the process to identify priorities and strengthen their approach to estate management.

In this discussion based session, TTN coordinators will share insights, address common questions and misconceptions, and discuss how the return can support meaningful conversations with trustees, executive leaders and other stakeholders. There will also be opportunities for attendees to ask questions, compare approaches and learn from peers. 

Session takeaways:

• Understand the purpose of the SEMS return and how it fits within the wider education estates landscape.
• Understand what the return involves and feel confident in interpreting its questions.
• Recognise how existing practices and processes may support your trust’s self-evaluation.
• Understand how the SEMS return relates to the four themes of safe, suitable, sustainable and sufficiently sized estates.
• Explore how the self-evaluation process can help trusts identify priorities and drive value through future estates planning.
• Gain practical ideas for discussing SEMS outcomes with trustees, executive leaders and other key stakeholders.
