MLE
Managed Learning Environment:

A web-based portal, allowing pupils and staff to manage learning online, communicate between each other and store work on a central server. This is a key component of the provision of ICT services by the LEP.

An area-wide, commercial managed service is fundamental to the thinking behind BSF and in line with ICT policy emanating from the DfE and Becta.

MoU
 
Memorandum of Understanding: This is an agreement, signed by the Chief Executives of a local authority and PfS, that confirms mutual obligations and the respective roles and responsibilities in delivering BSF both nationally and locally. This is signed before the local authority formally enters the BSF programme.
MRA
Main Review Approval:

A combined panel of DfE, PfS, HMT and PUK representatives who consider and ultimately approve OBCs. (This panel replaced the previous Peer Review Group from Waves 1-4).
