CLEAPSS DT - Supporting practical work in science, technology and art
COVID-19 (Coronavirus) in Schools
At the moment we see no need for any changes to how school D&T or Art is taught, and activities should continue as normal. We will continue to monitor the situation and our advice as the need arises.
This is actually a good time to reinforce the need for good hand washing and hygiene. CLEAPSS Primary has a very good activity for teaching this, which you can find here.
For more information please refer to current guidance from the below links:
New password

The new login and password has been sent to members via the  printed bulletin, if you cant find yours, try the science department.

As part of the move to online membership processing, direct members of CLEAPSS (ie not via a local authority or other brokering organisation) will have been sent a renewal notice by e-mail. We have sent out over 2500 electronic requests and so far almost half of those we have contacted have successfully navigated the online membership renewal process.

If the renewal request has been passed to you by someone else and you are not sure what to do next, give us a ring (01895 251496) and ask us to resend the renewal directly to you. That way you can simply click on the link in the e-mail to access the online portal.

If your school has not renewed its membership by the end of January, membership will lapse and your password will stop working.

CLEAPSS membership renewals

This year CLEAPSS is moving to an electronic renewal system for its associate members.
During the next two weeks we will be sending out e-mails with the title ‘CLEAPSS Renewal’ so keep an eye out for these and follow the instructions carefully.
This should be straight forward, however to allow time for this new process on its first run through we have made sure that your current password will remain valid until the end of November.
If you don’t receive an e-mail there is no need to panic as you are probably not an ‘associate member’.

*Note this will include individual schools and colleges who subscribe directly to us, suppliers, not for profit organisations and individual members.
Schools and colleges that get their membership via a Local Authority, a Multi Academy Trust or other brokering organisation will not be affected.
