DFE Guidance for Schools on Leaving the EU

As you are no doubt aware, Lord Agnew wrote to all schools, LA's and Multi Academy Trusts on 17 September 2019. The purpose of the letter was to ensure that all schools have seen the DfE guidance in the event that the UK leaves the EU with no deal on 31 October. Schools, LA's and Multi Academy Trusts have also been asked to complete a survey to inform the DfE on their readiness in the event of a no-deal situation.

The latest guidance can be found here and covers data protection, food and medical supplies etc.

World Mental Health Day

It was World Mental Health Day last Thursday and we decided to wear yellow and donate money towards Young Minds' Hello Yellow campaign.

World Mental Health Day is an opportunity for all of us to raise awareness of mental health issues and advocate against social stigma.

Later in the year, during July, you will be logging in to view the data reports we make available in 'LA Documents' so you can check the data you submitted to us for EYFSP, Phonics screening checks & rechecks and KS1 teacher assessments is correct. As July is your chance to spot a mistake and correct it before we send your data to the Department for Education.

If you experience issues logging in or you need your school's main account updated to a new head teacher then please contact us: 01392 287317 or: LDP-DataTeam@babcockinternational.com
