SchoolPro TLC - Education support for schools and multi academy trusts

Thank you for your help on this matter, once again you have helped us rectify the issue promptly and effectively.

Thanks for the recent documents that have been sent through to the schools – they have been very well received… I have certainly found them useful.

Thank you for providing the peace of mind we all need in a profession, where we are constantly under scrutiny. It is so reassuring to know we can call on you for advice and guidance when we most need it.

It certainly puts my mind at rest!

As we approach 2 years working with SchoolPro TLC I cannot recommend them highly enough. They are our Schools DPO and offer a fantastic service which is great value for money.

As well as being your Schools DPO and undertaking annual audits, data mapping, completing DPIA and staff training – They also offer a wide range of other services including curriculum, governance, school improvement and leadership. They have recently completed a detailed website audit for us in line with the new statutory guidance, which is in the process of being actioned – This is also included in the annual cost.

I have personally worked with Richard Morley for 7+ years in various capacities, and his ability to inspire, proven track record of achieving great results teamed alongside his personality and knowledge has led me to build up a great working partnership with him.

If you would like to enquire about SchoolPro TLC services, please don’t hesitate to get in contact with them either via their website – https://schoolpro.uk/ or LinkedIn. You will not be disappointed!

We have used SchoolPro’s DPO service for 2 academic years. The cost is affordable and the service very good. Ian Arkell has been really helpful with some complicated GDPR issues and SAR requests, as well as the more routine annual inspections and staff training.

Thank you again for your help and your generosity… I have been so pleased with your service that I have no hesitation in recommending SchoolPro to any of the schools in my area.

Just wanted to say a big thank you for the clarity and detail of the advice ….. it’s hugely appreciated.

Thank you, I am very grateful to you for this. I used the document with my online governors meeting and it gave a good framework to plan through. I’d also added notes where we sectioned things and what we had done so made me feel better seeing what we had already put in place.

A pleasure to work with. I would (and will) recommend SchoolPro to any school!

Along with some of our partner primary schools we have utilised the services of SchoolPro as our Data Protection Officer (DPO) to support our school in all of our GDPR matters. The advice and support that we have received as a school can’t be faulted. We have shared ideas with SchoolPro and have been highly satisfied with all advice that has been offered. The customer service is outstanding with there being swift responses to any queries that are brought to the attention of the DPO by phone or e-mail and there is always a response within 24 hours and less (this has been most helpful when dealing with a SAR request on the penultimate day of a term where Ian Arkell supported us in the response. He also gave us peace-of-mind in dealing with a GDPR matter where, once briefed, he then made contact with relevant subjects to resolve a matter to the satisfaction of all concerned. Rest assured that you need look no further for any DPO needs than with SchoolPro. BTW…no payment has been received for this review!

The Blue Kite Academy Trust has been supported by SchoolPro and Ben Craig in particular since September 2022. SchoolPro were already working with 2 schools who had recently joined the Trust so came highly recommended. However we still spoke to a number of providers but decided after speaking with Ben that SchoolPro would offer the best service. BKAT are extremely happy with the support we have received since September. The prompt responses, the helpful guidance, the easy to use portal, access to training and the reassurance that there is someone to speak to has been gratefully received by the Trust Central Team and Headteachers.

Chilton Foliat primary school were looking for a solution to providing compliance with the new GDPR framework as mandated by the department of education, and I was asked to research and advise a suitable organisation to provide this role. I reached out to a number of organisations that I was able to find on Google who provided GDPR solutions, both in the form of software and training to manage the GDPR tasks, or a Data Protection Officer (DPO) capability for schools and academies. I ended up with a shortlist of 4 organisations who were promoting a GDPR solution, two of which provided software and backup and advisory capabilities, and two that provided a discrete DPO service without the need for costly software products and the training needed to implement an In-house tailored solution. After the school governing body had reviewed the 4 prospectuses, SchoolPro TLC were the unanimous choice to provide a DPO capability that suited our modest needs and which had the most flexible and cost effective solution to help us achieve those objectives. We have found the responses we have received from SchoolTLC to be exemplary thus far and are looking forward to nurturing this partnership as we move forward. We could not have asked for a better quality partner to help us overcome our initial concerns and confusion of developing a GDPR process in such a timely and ordered manner. We have no hesitation in highly recommending this organization to other school looking to achieve GDPR compliance by way of their professional ism, value for money and attentiveness to our initial requirements.’
