Actions for schools

• Schools that do not use Ealing’s payroll service are asked to provide a staff list to agree which staff will be covered by the scheme
• PFI schools whose caretakers are employed by a PFI contractor are asked to nominate an alternative member of support staff to be covered by the scheme
• Similarly, primary schools that do not have a nursery are asked to nominate a member of support staff to be covered as an alternative to the NNEB. No additional charge will be raised for this cover. The nomination form is attached (appendix 3)
• If a school wishes to nominate a member of the admin team other than the school administrator, they should complete the nomination form too
• Where a school/children’s centre has more than one nursery nurse, they can choose to nominate additional nursery nurses who will be charged at a rate of £200 per additional nursery nurse by headcount. Please complete the ‘additional NNEB’s’ section of the nomination form in this instance.
