CYPMD Communications
We will continue to send all CYPMD communications to the headteacher/principal. If additional people within your school or college would like to receive future communications about the CYPMD service including details on timings and guidance for the 2025 checking exercises they can opt-in by sending a message and selecting the option ‘I want to sign up to receive CYPMD email updates’.
Supporting Information
To help schools and colleges submit appropriate amendment requests during the 2025 checking exercises we have summarised the requests submitted during the 2024 checking exercises, alongside common reasons why some amendment requests were unable to be accepted. The checking exercise requests summary documents are available in the further guidance section for the relevant key stage below.
To increase the likelihood of amendment requests being accepted we strongly recommend that you read the relevant document before you make any amendment requests.
