Course Summary

Strong management is crucial for an educational establishment to be successful. Education management involves managing all facility features and processes, including SEN education, departments, communication, and student well-being. For a school to conduct its purpose well, the students must always be the prime priority.


Those in education management must be highly competent in communication. Communication is a vital factor in management, as it ensures that all involved parties understand any changes or improvements and explains to students and their caretakers the process and how their education will be influenced.


Furthermore, any individual within education management should understand the concepts, principles, and safeguarding processes. Safeguarding is essential for protecting each student as it’s the process of building a safe relationship with students and identifying potential situations that could lead to harm. Those working with students should be trained and aware of indicators that could suggest that students are vulnerable to harm, as well as the ideal steps to take to ensure they remain safe on school grounds or at home.
