Portfolio of Services to Schools

We have great pleasure in introducing the Devon Services to Schools Portfolio 2012 – 2013
These are times of profound change in education and local government. However, you will continue to need tailored support to enable you to provide the best possible education for our young people. Despite the major reforms sweeping Devon County Council and local government as a whole, we believe this portfolio delivers the support services you need at an affordable price.
Every service in this portfolio has striven to contain costs whilst maintaining quality and we commend them to headteachers and governors.
In the interests of economy and reducing our carbon footprint, the information and details of services will only be available electronically.
You will find the list of available services below, each with a hyperlink to details of the service(s) and contact details for further information.
We want every school in Devon to have access to quality services which have been developed specifically to meet your needs. We hope you will find the information in this portfolio helpful.
Academies: please see our more comprehensive information on services offered to academies
As in previous years, we will assume that you wish to continue with the services you are currently receiving unless you advise us otherwise. If you wish to cancel a service, please do so via email: devonservicestoschools-mailbox@devon.gov.uk .
Prices and charging
Each service will endeavour to continue to deliver best value and quality services.
An electronic calculator is now available (for maintained, voluntary aided and voluntary controlled schools only) so you can estimate the cost to your budget. This is available on the School Finance Modelling Calculators page.
Please submit orders or related queries to devonservicestoschools-mailbox@devon.gov.uk.
Service manager/ contact details can be found on the individual service page if you wish to discuss your needs in further detail. Devon Services to Schools are available to Academies and other external organisations – please contact Service Managers for quotations.
Confidentiality
This portfolio and the calculator contain commercially sensitive and confidential information and should be treated accordingly. Details and prices should not be passed on to any other person or organisation.
We look forward to hearing from you soon.
