About SMS

Schools Mutual Services (SMS) is a not-for-profit supply staffing agency, owned and managed by schools. It was created to deliver ethical, transparent, and cost-effective staffing solutions across the education sector. Unlike commercial agencies, SMS keeps spend in the education system, helping schools protect their budgets while ensuring supply educators receive fair pay, professional development, and alignment to national pay scales. 

With regional hubs covering the whole of the North East, East Midlands and the South East, Schools Mutual Services works with executive leaders in schools and academies across Newcastle, Durham, Gateshead, Sunderland, Northumberland, South Shields, Nottinghamshire, Derbyshire, Leicester, Oxfordshire, Swindon and Berkshire.

Each hub is embedded within its local education community, working in partnership with schools, academies, multi-academy trusts and teaching alliances such as OTSA, to deliver tailored supply staffing support across primary and secondary education, whether that is day-to-day supply teaching or long-term placements.

From multi academy trusts to community primary and special schools, SMS is helping educational establishments navigate financial pressures with a smarter, more cost-effective and sustainable solution for supply teachers and supply support staff, that puts pupil outcomes first.
