We Are Schools Plus

Schools Plus is a managed school lettings partner and a social enterprise. We open school facilities to local communities outside the school day, and we run everything that involves — so every booking made at one of our schools generates reliable income for education.

Nearly 500 people across the UK make that happen, at more than 100 partner schools, and we've been doing it since 2004.

What Schools Plus does

We manage the hire of school facilities outside the school day, on behalf of our partner schools.

The spaces we open up

Sports halls, 3G and grass football pitches, main halls, dance and drama studios, meeting rooms and classrooms — at more than 100 partner schools across the UK. Spaces are available on weekday evenings, at weekends and throughout the school holidays.

The operation behind them

We handle marketing, bookings, on-site staffing, cleaning and safeguarding. Customers book through Enni, our sister booking platform, and a trained Schools Plus host opens up, staffs and locks up every booking — so nothing is asked of school staff.

Every booking puts money directly into the school whose facilities are used. That is our entire purpose.

Our story

Two decades of opening schools to their communities.

  1. 2004

    Schools Plus is founded

    We were incorporated on 28 June 2004 with one purpose: to help schools make money from their facilities by sharing them with their communities.

  2. Every month since

    Schools paid on time, in full

    For 22 years we have paid our partner schools on time, every month, generating more than £40 million for UK schools along the way.

  3. Today

    100+ schools, nearly 500 people

    More than 100 schools across the UK trust us to run their lettings, supported by a team of nearly 500 people — from venue supervisors and team leaders to area managers and head office specialists.

How we support our schools

Schools provide the facilities. We provide the people, processes and systems that turn them into reliable income.

Dedicated area management

An experienced Area Manager oversees the lettings at each partner school and manages the local team — a named point of contact for the school.

Professional on-site staff

We recruit, train and manage the staff who host bookings. Their tasks are issued, tracked and time-stamped.

Cleaning and care for facilities

Cleaning is part of every staff member's role, supported by training, specialist equipment on site and AI checks on toilet cleaning.

Safeguarding and operational support

Our people and processes manage safeguarding, emergencies, complaints and insurance claims, with a designated safeguarding lead.

Reliable monthly payments

Schools receive an agreed share of revenue each month, 14 days after month end, with no deductions or hidden costs.

Seven-day marketing and bookings

We run lead generation, online bookings and renewals, supported by technology and a seven-day operation.

Our results

Alongside the income generated for schools, we track school satisfaction and the completion of operational tasks. These are our reported operational figures.
