Strategic Estate Management Designed for the Future of Schools

 

Warneford Consulting’s team partners with Chief Operating Officers and Directors of Estates to build a strategic, actionable approach that goes beyond the Department for Education’s (DfE) Good Estate Management for Schools (GEMS) standards. By integrating a decarbonisation plan, we’re not only meeting best practices—we’re leading the way in sustainable estate management.

Our process begins with a comprehensive data analysis for each school in your estate, presenting insights through easy-to-read tables, charts, and graphs. This bird’s-eye view highlights key risks and liabilities, setting a solid foundation for proactive planning.

With a clear understanding of your estate’s unique needs, we guide you through interactive scenario planning. Together, we prioritise projects based on your School Condition Allocation, available funding, and reserves, creating a dynamic, rolling five-year capital program that adapts as your trust grows.

Leveraging our ISO 9001-approved procurement route and our network of accredited consultants, contractors, and manufacturers, we ensure seamless, cost-effective project delivery.

Explore our case studies to see our approach in action, and don’t hesitate to reach out—let’s discuss how we can support your estate’s development and sustainability goals.

In line with the Diocese’s commitment to creating a decarbonised school estate, we have conducted thorough energy audits across our facilities. These audits include detailed, costed analyses that demonstrate the return on investment for each potential project, allowing us to strategically plan and prioritise efforts to reduce carbon emissions and increase energy efficiency across our schools.Michelle McColl, Chief Operating Officer
