Vision and Values
Our vision is to be the market leader in the provision of high-quality business support services to schools – to be ‘a one stop shop’. We will use our expertise and experience to secure business and build a robust local customer base from which we can build and extend our offer across the region and nationally.
Through our expanding network of supplier partnerships, we will create a single catalogue of comprehensive services to meet the changing needs of school leaders. We will be valued by our customers, employees and partners alike and strive to provide the best opportunities for all to succeed.
Core Values
At S4S we are committed to our core values, which we believe ultimately, will make life EASIER for schools. These values shape our culture and guide our thinking, defining the character of our company. We aspire to work to these values each day and believe they demonstrate who we are and how we conduct our business.
Excellence
We deliver what we promise and add value that goes beyond what is expected. We believe that performance excellence will drive the results that differentiate us from our competitors.
Adaptable
We acknowledge that all schools differ and that a ‘one size fits’ approach is not ideal. We offer a programme of support but can modify our services to suit the needs of our customers.
Schools
Schools are why we are here. We strive to support Headteachers in providing better futures for children. At S4S we take care of the business giving schools the freedom to educate.
Integrity
We are proud of our reputation which depends on us consistently maintaining high ethical standards. We succeed by doing things the right way and by dealing fairly in all our business relations. We demand of ourselves the highest level of integrity and professionalism in all that we do.
Efficiency
To ensure our Company remains effective and competitive, we will continually review and develop time and cost-efficient solutions to schools’ business needs.
Relationships
Our business depends on strong and healthy relationships with schools, partners and colleagues alike. We take ownerships of needs and are accountable for delivering a friendly and professional service

What Our Customers Say
CEO, mat in chester
I think Services 4 Schools’ greatest strength is their flexibility and adaptability. When we have needed additional advice and support – for example, when new schools have joined the trust, or a school has struggled with their new financial responsibilities – Services 4 Schools have been quick to react and provide the support we need. We have also been impressed with their ability to provide quality advice both at individual school level and finance director level
Headteacher, school in walsall
I transferred our HR consultancy services from the Local Authority to S4S (Services 4 Schools) almost 6 years ago as I was looking for a professional service that places the children at the heart of its work, just as we do. It has become one of the best decisions that I made for the children, staff and the school.
school business manager, walsall
S4S are a great support in managing aspects of the schools data and finance. Staff are helpful and supportive and provide advice and guidance throughout the academic year on a variety of subjects including Census, statutory submissions and budget management. The service is invaluable in saving time and resources particularly during busier periods of the school year.
