Contents
SLA
Introduction
This Service Level Agreement (SLA) is between the school governing body / Academy and the Data, Intelligence, and Insight Team (known as the ‘Data Team’) on behalf of Southampton City Council.
This Service Level Agreement is for the period 01/04/2025 to 31/03/2026. Any services bought during the SLA period outlined above will be charged at the full rate as outlined in this document.
The Data Team have received an increasing number of requests from schools to support them with a needs analysis that covers a much greater range of topics than those usually considered within schools analysis. In response to these requests, the Data Team have developed a School Needs Analysis covering a range of topics including Health, Community Safety, Economy and Demography. This new analysis will be tailored specifically for your school, identifying the level of need based on your current cohort of pupils. In addition to providing further insight about your school community, its strengths and challenges, it is also envisaged that this analysis will better support schools’ ability to apply for grant funding.
Service options
The Data Team offer this School Needs Analysis to all schools and academies. Schools and academies
have the responsibility of ensuring appropriate information governance is in place that covers this
needs analysis.
Each school will receive a range of mapping and tabular analysis that identifies the level of need
present within your school based on the home postcodes of your current pupil cohort. A range of
needs will be assessed from topic areas including Health, Community Safety, Economy and
Demography.
