Terms and Conditions
The SISLA offer assumes that the academy does not vary significantly from the maintained sector in its pay and conditions of service and is willing to enter a data-sharing agreement which allows the Local Authority to access its results within national datasets which are used to support self-evaluation. If this is not the case, an additional workload may be required for the school adviser and charges would therefore need to be individually negotiated.
Terms and Conditions
If in the event your adviser is unavailable, we guarantee to provide you with an immediate substitute, with another named adviser. If you no longer wish to renew your SISLA then we ask that you inform us via email advisory.support@lancashire.gov.uk no less than three months before the renewal due date.
The cost of the SISLA is non-refundable for the year in which it is taken out. If you have any complaints about the quality of service you receive against the SISLA, please make direct contact with a Senior Adviser, who will seek to resolve this.
"As a new headteacher in 2018, Lancashire’s SISG was essential support for myself and the school. 6 or 7 years later the support is no less valuable in a profession where things change on a daily basis. Regular updates are available in a variety of forms including the Headteacher Forums and online briefings for key areas such as English, Maths and EYFS, but for me the real value is the professional conversations I have termly with my school adviser. Because they know our school so well, they ensure that we are constantly moving forward with focus and seeing real improvement. It is also very reassuring to have a second opinion at the end of the phone when something unexpected has cropped up! The school uses LSIP widely, to analyse performance, to inform key staff of the impact of their work and to report to the wider staff group as well as governors. It is our core data document and a huge time-saver."
