We are working with school colleagues to provide information, guidance, resources and support for Central Bedfordshire schools and academies.
Information on accessing resources
Colleagues are only able to access the resources once email addresses (school emails only) have been loaded onto the system. Headteacher and School Office emails will automatically be uploaded. If your Chair of Governors has a school email address, this will also automatically be uploaded. However, if your Chair of Governors doesn’t have a school email, and you want them to have access to the resource, you will need to speak with your IT supplier and have a school email set up. Once this has been done, please email the Commissioning and Partnerships Officer on the email below and provide their name and school email address.
Email: sitgeneral@centralbedfordshire.gov.uk
Please share this page with colleagues and governors directly.
This information is for school colleagues only and must not be accessed or shared outside of Central Bedfordshire Council.
Your information will be stored on Central Bedfordshire Council systems. The planned retention time is 12 months at which time schools will be asked to update their information.

Children’s Services who’s who
A number of colleagues have requested information on who’s who within Children's Services.
Please view our Children and Families Contacts (PDF), which contains information on specific service areas and their staff and contact details for headteachers and governors across the service.
