Abstract
Between 2001 and 2010, the development and training of school business managers, in England, has been seen as a solution to some of the resource issues that emerged as a result of devolving management responsibilities to the site level. The outcomes of a longitudinal study, initiated in 1997, are used to explore the genesis and evolution of this emerging profession from the bursar in the independent sector to the business manager in state schools. Documentary searches, the first national surveys in this area, and interviews and focus groups are used to build a picture of how and why the role evolved in schools, the tensions of negotiating the boundaries of this chief operating officer’s role and the emergence of a qualified cadre of professionals new to the state sector.
