The Service Children in State Schools (SCISS) Working Group was set up at the request of the DfES to look into the issues and concerns, including mobility and funding, that were being raised by Headteachers of state schools with Service children in the United Kingdom.
The group meet on a regular basis. The Department for Children, Schools and Families(DCSF), Ministry of Defence (MOD) and Children's Education Advisory Service (CEAS), as well as a number of Headteachers from all sectors of education are members of the group.
A wide range of issues and concerns have been identified. These include; Identification of good practice, research, communication and funding. A handbook for schools with Service children has been produced and is available by clicking the link in the 'Related Pages' section of this page. Another, complimentary, resource for both parents and schools has been produced by SCE on the issues relating to Service deployment. This can be accessed by clicking the link in 'External Links' and creating an account on the Deployment Resources Home page.
