Investing income from community lettings into your school

Developing a community lettings strategy is an effective way to bring additional income into your school; enhancing your offerings, maintaining & upgrading your existing facilities, and improving and/or increasing your pupil enrichment programme(s). Here, we’ll go through various practical ways income from community lettings can be invested into your school. 

Practical ways income from community lettings can be invested into your school

Alleviate rising energy costs and the cost of living crisis: with rising energy prices, grocery prices and even the increasing costs of materials, additional income from school community lettings can be put towards covering these rising costs; helping to ensure disruption to your pupils’ learning does not occur due to the current cost of living crisis. 

Enhance both teaching & learning: extra income generated from school lettings can also be invested into teaching & learning; providing your teachers with more training opportunities or increased support during lessons, or your pupils with additional learning opportunities outside of normal school hours. 

Purchase or upgrade much needed school equipment: another way additional income from lettings help your school, teachers and pupils is by investing the income generated into much needed new and/or specialist equipment such as new computers & laptops or an upgraded projector, classroom supplies or sports equipment, including footballs, basket balls or hockey sticks, for example. 

Enhance or offer new pupil enrichment programmes: supporting your pupils to develop skills, knowledge and experience outside of the classroom by offering volunteering opportunities, arts, music or creative activities is incredibly valuable to their overall development and additional income from school lettings can support this; aiding you in covering any additional costs that arise from such programmes. 

Develop new facilities or upgrade current school facilities: lastly, community lettings income can also contribute towards developing new school facilities or maintaining / upgrading existing facilities – for instance, this additional income could be put towards repairing your current 3G/MUGA pitch or constructing a new building, pitch or centre for learning. 

In short, offering your school facilities for hire to your local community can come with a wealth of benefits to your school, your teachers & staff, and your pupils, both directly and indirectly.
