We look forward to continuing to work with you to develop the range and quality of LA services further in order to better support teaching, learning and management in schools. A small number of services have made significant changes to their specification, so please ensure that you download a copy of the new Schools Business Services brochure by logging on to My School Services and visiting: Services > Download a bespoke brochure (on the right hand side of page).

Alternatively please see attached guidelines.Please ensure that all SLAs are confirmed with Governing bodies, where required. Step by step guidelines on how to purchase SLA's can be found via logging into My School Services and clicking on "Resources" at the top of the page and then select "Step by Step Guidelines". All services will clearly state the duration of the SLA on My School Services. Services such as Recruitment Advertising, DBS Vetting and Warrington LiFE (previously named Careers for Young People) can be purchased by the school/academy on an “as and when required” basis, so are exempt from the 3 year period. Advances in technology in the ICT field often means new technology can become available more frequently and again by offering yearly SLA’s in those areas it offers more flexibility to the schools. There are a few exceptions to this rule, for example some ICT SLA’s which will run for a period of 1 year.


Please ensure that all SLA's are purchased by Friday 25th August.The vast majority of our SLA's will move into year 1 of 3. We look forward to working together throughout 2023/24 and beyond.

I am pleased to announce that Academy SLA's for the upcoming 2023-2024 academic year are now available to purchase via My Schools Services.
