School Organizational Chart Template

A school's structure has to answer two questions for parents, teachers and staff: who is responsible for academics, and who is responsible for everything else. When those lines blur, the principal ends up handling fee disputes and bus timings instead of teaching quality.

School org chart FAQs

What is the hierarchy in a school?

Typically management or trust, then principal, vice principals or section heads, subject coordinators, and teachers - with a parallel administrative wing for admissions, accounts, transport and facilities.

Should the school management committee be on the chart?

Yes, if it makes decisions the principal reports to. Add it above the principal as the root, or as a note on the principal's box.

How do I show teachers who teach in multiple sections?

Place them under the section where they are class teacher or spend the most periods, and mention the other sections in their job role.
