These free Premises and Site Staff Standards outline expectations for caretakers and site managers, covering maintenance, security, health and safety, organisation, and adaptability. They describe progression from carrying out routine repairs and daily duties to leading site operations, ensuring compliance, and maintaining a safe, efficient, and well-presented school environment.
Roles included: School caretaker, site manager, facilities manager, and any assistants or custodial staff.
Primary school context: typically one caretaker who might also do cleaning.
Secondary school context: a site manager may supervise a team of caretakers, cleaners, and grounds staff.
Special school context: may have additional duties like maintaining specialist equipment or ensuring sensory rooms and therapy facilities are in working order.
Schools can use these standards as a standalone paper-based tool, or integrate them into our Flourish Staff Appraisal and Development software to record and analyse staff and peer reviews along with objectives and meetings related to professional development.
