An annual service agreement between our family of schools and the Guildford Diocesan Board of Education.
EsLA is our annual Education Services Level Agreement between our family of schools and the Guildford Diocesan Board of Education.
What Schools and Trusts Receive
OUR APPROACH
We focus on relationship building, partnership and pastoral care to support the development of the
Christian ethos and character for each church school, academy and trust within the Diocese of Guildford.
OUR ETHOS | CHRISTIAN DISTINCTIVENESS
GDBE Quality Assured Service providing value for money to our church schools, academies and trusts.
There are options for further and additional tailored school effectiveness consultancy and training.
OUR ESLA DELIVERY PROMISES | EACH YEAR
Options for levels of support through our annual service level agreement subscription and membership are:
(EsLA Extend+ and Enhance++ increase for built in Education consultancy support hours, training entitlements, benefits and discounts.)
The EsLA agreement is for a period of one year starting on 1st April and will continue for successive periods of one year, noting all buyback entitlements to be used within the following academic year, unless terminated on an anniversary by either party on the giving of two months’ notice.
Each Spring we send an automatic reminder to member schools for renewal for the next academic year. We offer the option to continue the subscription level or change and upgrade online using our schools portal https://gdbeonline.org
Our Group EsLA CORE is one service level agreement designed exclusively to support executive teams and Multi-Academy Trusts. Extend+ or Enhance++ Levels can be procured, as appropriated, to meet further requirements. These can be requested by an executive team or Trust after the Group EsLA CORE subscription is agreed for all schools or academies within the group.
Our Directors and Lead officers work collaboratively with executive teams and Trusts, in partnership with their headteachers, to deliver Diocesan suites of support and training tailored for delivery to be most beneficial across the group.
Our approach is to co-ordinate services for the Group through one central point, usually the Trust or Executive team.
Please contact a member of our Education Team if you are interested and wish to discuss an annual subscription to our Group EsLA CORE.
