The website is brought to you by the team behind Primary Times in Devon, Cornwall and Dorset. As we’ve been publishing content in Primary Times magazine for 25 years, we’ve built up an unrivalled knowledge of enriching educational experiences in the South West.

We can support you with a growing range of planning tools, links to funding sources and other ways to minimise the time and cost it takes to plan a visit, and encourage you to book somewhere different.

SchoolPro
SchoolPro TLC Limited was formed by school and education leaders with over 60 years of experience across all stages of education and in a variety of contexts.  The company founders have worked to improve educational provision as both senior leaders and school governors.
 
​The company was formed with the fundamental belief that funding for pupils is being taken out of the classroom to meet the ever-increasing demands of school leadership. Our aim is to provide cost-effective solutions that allow more funds to be deployed to directly improve the life chances of young people. In a context where schools struggle with budget and capacity issues at all levels, access to experience and knowledge that can be deployed across multiple schools and trusts gives education providers the ability to provide a flexible and responsive solution to capacity, skill or knowledge deficit problems. Our experience could enable you to direct more funding to the pupils to broaden the experiences they receive in school.
 
We provide services and support in the following areas:
  • Data Protection
  • Curriculum
  • Timetabling
  • Leadership and Management
  • Governance
  • School Improvement
  • Business Management

Data Protection Officer Service
As an education provider, you have a responsibility to protect your students, staff and school. But the responsibility isn’t just with protecting the physical form – it also comes down to the protection of any information or data you hold about said individuals and how it’s managed and controlled within your environment.
 
SchoolPro TLC provides the role of Data Protection Officer (DPO) as a service for schools to demonstrate an enhanced level of data protection compliance to the Information Commissioner's Office. Our DPO Service is intended to assist schools and Multi Academy Trusts (MATs) in complying with the requirement to appointment such a role with the responsibilities set out in the Data Protection Act 2018.
 
Our staff are experienced school leaders so understand the data flows and need for data in different areas of the school. Our support as DPO includes a free online recording and reporting system for all relevant GDPR information, so you don't have to pay additionally for another expensive system.
 
We also provide a great deal of functions compared to some other purchased services, including completed Data Privacy Impact Assessments and compliance checking of supplier data privacy agreements.
 
 
HOW IT WORKS:
  • Our delivery of the Data Protection Officer role shall include:
  • Providing advice and guidance when required;
  • Supporting and monitoring the maintenance of data records;
  • Drafting data policies and procedures;
  • Providing training for employees;
  • Acting as the first point of contact with authorities;
  • Supporting the management of Subject Access Requests and those under the Freedom of Information Act 2000;
  • Supporting the management, including investigation, reporting and review, of data breach incidents;
  • Conducting an internal audit of your data processes up to twice a year;
  • Providing you with access to our specifically designed Data Protection Portal.
 
DATA PROTECTION AUDITS
One of our DPO's will carry out audits to provide an assessment of whether your schools are following good data protection practice. The audits will look at whether they are following your policies and procedures and make recommendations for improvements including any new guidance from the ICO. The audits can be undertaken alone or in conjunction with your DPO.
 
DATA PROTECTION PORTAL
In line with the Data Protection Act 2018 and in conjunction with the ICO published audit reports from MATs we have designed a portal that enables schools and MATs to hold and log all relevant data protection information in one place. This includes all of our policy and document templates as well as the logging and reporting of data breaches, subject access requests and data decisions. All school-specific documents are hosted here including audit reports and all logs are also easily downloadable for review at governor or trustee level.
 
The portal is split into five distinct sections:
  • Breaches – log and report on any data breaches that may occur in your schools.
  • Subject Access Requests – log and report on any subject access requests that may occur in your schools.
  • Data Decisions – log and report on any data decisions made where data is processed in such a way that could create risks to the rights and freedoms of individuals, or it involves special categories of data. It can also be used to log incidences of one-off data sharing.
  • Global Documents – access and download all of our supporting material for data protection including policy templates, training resources, privacy notices, retention schedules and data protection impact assessments.
  • School Documents – access and download any school-specific documents once completed such as audit reports and your data maps.
 
Our online tool is hosted and secured on servers located in the UK. Our systems and processes anonymise all data where possible so it is not personally identifiable and we have a regular routine for deletion of any identifiable information.
 
 
DATA PROTECTION TRAINING / CPD
Aims of this session are:
  • for staff are to develop an understanding of the statutory responsibility to monitor and evaluate data processing within your setting;
  • for staff are to develop a greater awareness of the potential pitfalls;
  • to share good practice in relation to data protection using case studies from schools we currently work with;
  • to raise awareness of how data protection is everyone's concern.
 
All of our CPD sessions can be delivered to a whole staff body or we offer bespoke sessions for different groups of staff, for example governors, senior leaders, admin, SENDCO, new starters, or as refresher training. For example, our Data Protection Training for SENDCOs and DSLs covers the following:
  • Develop understanding of the statutory responsibility to monitor and evaluate data processing with specific focus on SEN and Child Protection (CP) pupils;
  • Develop a greater awareness of the potential pitfalls of processing SEN and CP data;
  • Share good practice in relation data protection using case studies from schools we currently work with;
  • Raise awareness of the retention schedules for SEN and CP data.
 
Our CPD sessions are delivered on site with staff, so they can fully engage and ask questions that are directly relevant to school staff and their specific role. As we are experienced school leaders, we do understand the need for all roles in school, so our advice and guidance is education- and role-specific.
 
Whole staff sessions run for about an hour, other bespoke sessions can vary in length depending on need. Where INSET time does not allow for one of our sessions, we will provide materials for all content and keep you informed of any relevant updates.
 
As we don't want to hold too much personal data, we do not hold lists of names of staff that attended courses but we will record when school training took place and the content delivered.
 
We provide all schools with a data sharing agreement to include necessary guarantees about data.

Idesign
Designing educational spaces to nurture healthy minds.

Unfortunately for some, schools have become places of stress, anxiety and depression with negative social interactions and pressures to succeed.

However as designers we are aware of the positive impacts spatial configuration can have on patterns of human behaviour, habit and mood.

With our innovative furniture designs and spatial planning,  we aim to encourage self-expression, increase positive social interaction and reduce hostile opportunities.
