FAQs - New Learning Leads Sep 2018

School Accounts

The username convention for schools is a shortened version of the school email address.

 firstname.lastname@schoolname  (no need for 'stockport.sch.uk')

For schools with non-standard email formats:  The last part of the email address is omitted:

For example: joanne.bloggs@gatleyprimary or j.bloggs@kingsway

Childminders and registered EY settings

If you work in a registered early years setting your username format will be 

ey.firstname.lastname 

For example ey.joanne.bloggs.

NOTE:

 If you work in a maintained nursery your username will be similar to schools : firstname.lastname@nurseryname > > for example joanne.bloggs@hollywoodpark

Your manager/headteacher will be given the default password. If the manager does not know the password please email support@learningleads.org.uk 

Staff can request an account using this form as long as they use an official email address to do so.  For example, requests from your school email addresses will be accepted.

We cannot accept account requests from unofficial email addresses as we need to verify any requests.

For EY settings and childminders, if you do not have an official email address linked to your setting, we are only able to create accounts from lists supplied by managers (sent from an official email address) or via the childminding team. Managers can contact support@learningleads.org.uk to obtain a proforma.

There is no way round this as it is extremely important that we verify account details before creating accounts.

If you are a childminder working in Stockport, the childminding team will set an account up for you when you register. If you need help please email childminding@stockport.gov.uk or phone 0161 218 1200 and leave a message, a team member will get in contact with you.

Under new GDPR guidelines we are responsible for the quality of the data we hold. The account details held on the old system for staff in registered settings was becoming out of date and an increasing number of  emails sent  were bouncing. Therefore, we started from scratch with NEW accounts in the new system. 

We created accounts for managers in Early Years' settings only.We recognise that the manager details may not be up to date and we will monitor access to identify any manager account details that may need updating.

With regard to staff accounts,  proformas are available for managers to complete with up to date details for staff requiring access.  Please email support@learningleads.org.uk to obtain a pro-forma , complete and return. In order to verify accounts we are only able to accept proformas sent using official email addresses.
