With the new financial year fast approaching, we’d like to share the 2024-25 EPSS traded offer, summarised in the Traded Brochure attached. Key points are summarised below.
Renewal
Maintained schools (i.e. non-academies) can renew their EPSS contracts via the S4S website (https://www.s4s.norfolk.gov.uk/Services/2066 ). Work for these contracts can then be picked up from April 1st 2024. To help with planning and allocation, and to help ensure a continuity of support, we would encourage those of you wanting to renew your contract to do so at your earliest convenience. Academies can renew in the same way, from early June 2024 (exact dates tbc). This work can then be picked up from September 1st 2024.
Pricing
To accommodate the ongoing financial pressures faced by schools, EPSS have again decided to maintain the existing pricing structure for the following year (2024-25). This is summarised in the updated Traded Brochure attached.
Activities
EPSS will look to maintain the flexible support developed and implemented over previous years, negotiating with schools the activities required and the time taken to complete these activities. EPSS will continue to offer support via regular Core Consultation meetings. This will look to maintain free support across all Norfolk schools, whilst also allowing enhanced planning / review to those schools where a traded relationship currently exists.
Your coordinating professional should be able to address any questions you may have. You’re also welcome to contact our Traded Services Support Officer (James Brooks- 01603 306362, james.brooks@norfolk.gov.uk ), or the wider EPSS trading team (details are included in the brochure).
