Unfortunately I am not in a position to do that, good as it would be.

However, the next interesting stage will be when Devon County Council
receive the document which they then can't open, and we say "it's a
central government standard."

I'd still be interested in any UK examples of odf only documents. A lot
of the DfE stuff is available odf and MS, but this was the first time I
had seen odf only.

I work in IT support a couple of days a week at a local primary school.

The financial admin. was putting together a SFVS (schools financial
value standard) report for Devon County Council.

Interestingly the only electronic versions of the standard form
available on the DfE website were pdf (locked, so read only) and odt. MS
Word 2016 was (predictably) unable to open the odt so I installed
LibreOffice so she could complete the form.

I know that a couple of years ago the Cabinet Office mandated odf as a
supported format for central government, but this is the first instance
I have seen of it being the only editable version publicly available.
Anyone else seen examples?

I would advise you to advise all schools to load LibreOffice to their
computers both  in admin and scholars



Get them to stick more Pi's in everywhere ! Just off to play with my zero to see how well OO runs on that!
