ISBA BURSARCAST // Inspections, the new normal ft.Durell Barnes ( 26th September 2025)

This week, we’re diving into a topic that’s always on the radar for school leaders and operational staff: inspections.

Joining us is:

Durell Barnes, consultant and inspections expert

Together, we explore how to stay inspection-ready without letting it become an operational drain.

Topics include:

  • The latest thinking on compliance and safeguarding
  • What inspectors are really looking for in 2025
  • Practical steps schools can take this term to feel confident and prepared

We also highlight a brand-new inspection webinar now available in the ISBA Reference Library, designed to help bursars, DSLs and leadership teams navigate the process clearly and calmly.


🔐 Sector News You Can’t Miss:

This week’s bulletin includes several key updates:

  • VAT and bursary grants – why HMRC sees some charitable support as taxable, and what that means for schools
  • New PRS & PPL Digital Music Licences – covering digital streaming, video use and internal music storage
  • Recruitment spotlight – Cransley School seeks a Director of Finance
  • NAB Cohort #16 – Meeting 2 on Safeguarding & SCR (29 Sept) and Meeting 3 on Finance & Mentoring (8 Oct)
  • So You Want to Be a Bursar – Feb 2026 programme now open for booking
