A Single School licence allows unrestricted use of CASPA within a single school.<\/p>\n<p>The licence fee for a Single School licence for CASPA covering the period 16th August 2019 to 15th August 2020 is <strong>\u00a31,015.00 <\/strong>plus VAT.<\/p>\n<h2>The Local Authority licence<\/h2>\n<p>CASPA can be licensed to Local Authorities who then have the right to use CASPA in any or all of their maintained educational establishments, be they special schools, special units, mainstreams or PRUs.\u00a0 The licence can be purchased by the LA or by a group of maintained schools.<\/p>\n<p>Where CASPA is licensed to a Local Authority, CASPA is delivered as two separate modules: the school data collection module of CASPA, designed to be installed in each school, and the Local Authority (LA) module, designed for a single central installation:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The school module is used by school staff for data collection, analysis and reporting.<\/li>\n<li>The\u00a0LA module of CASPA replicates all of the reporting and analysis functionality of the school module, and allows all analysis and reporting to be run for a single school or all schools; the LA module allows the authority to collect data from its schools to carry out authority-wide analysis and is also used to submit anonymised data for analysis to generate the comparative data set used by CASPA.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>For more information on how the school and local authority modules work together, please <a href=\"https:\/\/www.caspaonline.co.uk\/downloads\/CASPADataflow.pps\">click here.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Local Authority licence fees are based on the size of the Local Authority rather than the number of schools to which CASPA is deployed, so the wider the deployment, the lower the per-school cost. However, even if CASPA is initially deployed in just the special schools, purchasing a Local Authority licence will usually offer a significant discount on the per-school cost when\u00a0compared to purchasing multiple single-school licences.
