CLEAPSS Access – Important Update for All Staff (Hampshire LA maintained schools)
Since January, CLEAPSS has moved away from generic school logins. Our revised safety guidance (June) sets out clear roles and responsibilities for staff in Science, DT, and related subjects.
To stay compliant and confident:
✅ Check your team’s access – Ensure all relevant staff have individual CLEAPSS accounts.
✅ Individual Logins – How-to Guide: CLEAPSS Individual Logins- How to guide

Sign up to our Newly Appointed Primary Science Leader Training 25-26 – 30 January 2026
Taking on the leadership of science can appear a daunting task for many new science co-ordinators, especially at a time when its place in the curriculum is under greater scrutiny.
This one-day training session will help new science leaders gain a clear understanding of what science teaching and learning should be like and identify what they need to do to further develop the subject in their own school.
Part of the cost of the training includes a half day visit from Emma Cooper, General Inspector/Adviser for Science, to support your school’s specific challenges/developments.
