Inspection season is when school websites suddenly get looked at properly. Not by parents, who look all year round, but by leaders who realise a phone call could come on any Monday morning and want to know the site will stand up.

The short version first, and one piece of genuine news. Ofsted does not set school website requirements. The Department for Education does. What Ofsted does is read your website before inspectors arrive, and its guidance names exactly what they look at. So the phrase covers two things: the statutory publishing duties in DfE regulations, and the pre-inspection checks in Ofsted’s operating guide. This post covers both. For the year-round system rather than the inspection-season view, our Always Ready approach to website compliance sets that out separately.

What people mean by Ofsted website requirements

Search that phrase and you will mostly find lists of statutory information. That is the right instinct with the wrong label.

Every maintained school must publish specific information on its website to comply with the School Information (England) Regulations 2008, as amended in 2012 and 2016, plus the Equality Act 2010 and the Children and Families Act 2014. Academies carry parallel duties through their funding or accountability agreement and the academy trust handbook. Both sets come from the DfE, on two pages: what maintained schools must or should publish online and what academies, free schools and colleges should publish online.

Both still carry the same last updated date: 24 October 2024. Which is where a lot of writing on this subject stops, and where it goes wrong this year, because one genuinely new duty landed on 1 September and neither of those pages mentions it yet.

Which list applies to your school

Worth settling first, because schools regularly work from the wrong page. If your school is maintained by a local authority, use the maintained schools page: community schools, voluntary controlled schools, voluntary aided schools and foundation schools are all maintained schools. If you are an academy or a free school, use the academies page, because what academies must publish sits with the trust rather than in the School Information Regulations. Each page sets out what schools must or should publish for that type, and the two are close but not identical.

The one requirement that did change on 1 September

If you take one thing from this post, take this. Schools must now publish an allergy safety policy on their website, and it is a must in primary legislation rather than a recommendation.

Section 34 of the Children’s Wellbeing and Schools Act 2026 was brought fully into force on 1 September 2026 by SI 2026/933, made on 17 August 2026. It inserts a new section 100A into the Children and Families Act 2014, and that section does three things:

• your arrangements for supporting pupils with medical conditions must include an allergy safety policy, meaning a policy for managing allergies affecting pupils, including pupils at risk of anaphylaxis
• you must review that policy at least once every year and make whatever changes you think appropriate following the review
• you must publicise it as a written document by making it generally known in school and to parents, by bringing it to the attention of every pupil, parent and person who works at the school at least once a year, whether or not they are paid, and by publishing it on the school’s website

DfE published the statutory guidance, Allergy safety in schools, on 6 July 2026, and you must have particular regard to it. It asks for a named senior leader to own the policy, an annual review, publication on the website and a hard copy on request.

Why you may have read the opposite

Because until very recently the opposite was true, and plenty of writing on this has not caught up. We were among those saying the publishing duty was not yet commenced, which was correct through the summer and is not correct now.

Two things cause the confusion. The statutory guidance was published on 6 July, seven weeks before the commencement order, and it still says the Government intends to introduce a duty to publicise the policy and publish it on the website through forthcoming regulations. Read on its own, that sounds like something coming later. It is not: the duty sits in the Act itself, and the Act is now in force. The forthcoming regulations it refers to are the further allergy requirements the Secretary of State can add, such as spare adrenaline devices and training.

And neither DfE publish-online page mentions allergies at all. Both still read 24 October 2024. So a school working carefully from the official lists, which is exactly what a conscientious business manager does, will not find this duty on them.

That gap is the whole argument for watching the legislation rather than the lists. The lists are the last thing to change, not the first.

What to do about it this week

If you have an allergy safety policy, put it on the website, date it, and diarise the annual review. If you have allergy content folded inside a wider medical conditions policy, the guidance asks for a separate allergy safety policy, because of the specific risk anaphylaxis carries, and it asks for one even where no pupil has a known history of anaphylaxis. If you have neither, that is the priority job, and the DfE has published a template policy to start from.

What inspectors actually do with your school website

Ofsted’s school inspection operating guide for inspectors, in the version for use from September 2026, tells the lead inspector what to review before arriving on site. Alongside the previous report, the inspection data summary report, complaints and warning notices, it lists “the school and/or federation/trust website(s)”, and says what to check there:

• the governance arrangements for the school, including establishing whether the school is part of a federation
• for an academy, the trust’s scheme of delegation
• governance information, including whether an interim executive board is in place

A second, broader list of publicly available information to review briefly then includes “any further relevant information on the school’s website”.

So the only website content Ofsted names explicitly is governance. Everything else sits inside that discretionary review. Your website is not scored. It is read, early, by someone forming a first impression of how your school is run.

The uncomfortable overlap

Governance information is also the single most-missed area on school websites. In our State of School Website Compliance report, built from 247 audits of 205 schools across 24 compliance areas during 2025, governance came out worst of all: 49.8% found a problem with it. Almost exactly half.

So the one thing Ofsted’s guidance tells inspectors to check on your website is the thing schools most often get wrong. Not a scare story, an arithmetic problem, and fixable in an afternoon.

Keep the rest of that data in view as you read the list below. After governance, the worst areas were PE and sport premium (46.1%), remote education (42.1%), the equality duty (38.9%), pay gap reporting (37.3%), SEND (35.3%), admissions (34.2%) and results (34.1%).

What good governance information looks like

Schools must publish information about their governing body and its committees, in line with the constitution of governing bodies of maintained schools. Beyond that must, the DfE says schools should publish more, and that is where sites drift:

• the structure and remit of the governing body and any committees, including the full names of their chairs
• for each governor serving at any time in the past 12 months: full name, date appointed, term of office, date they stepped down, who appointed them, and their attendance record at governing body and committee meetings over the last academic year
• governors’ relevant business, financial and pecuniary interests, including governance roles at other educational institutions and material interests arising from relationships between governors, or between governors and school staff
• the same for associate members, and whether they have voting rights on any committee

The DfE also encourages schools to publish easily accessible data about the diversity of their board and committees, provided individuals are not identifiable.

The attendance record quietly goes stale. It refers to the last academic year, so a page that was right in June is out of date by September unless someone updates it. If you do one thing after reading this, make it that.

Inspection season: how much notice you really get

Inspection season is not a fixed window. Ofsted can inspect from five school days after the first day pupils attend in the autumn term. Autumn feels like a season because the year restarts and the call becomes possible again.

The notice is short and predictable. For full inspections the lead inspector usually telephones between 9.30 and 10am on a Monday, and inspectors arrive the next day. After a bank holiday, or in the first week back after Christmas, Easter or the summer, it may come on a Tuesday. Without notice, expect a call about 15 minutes before they arrive. Full inspections normally last two days, and schools are inspected approximately once every four years, within five school years of the last one.

So you get roughly one working day between call and arrival, and the website review happens inside it. There is no version of preparation where fixing the website after the phone rings makes any difference.

What changed in November 2025, and again this September

If your last inspection was a few years ago, the documents you remember no longer exist. The old school inspection handbook was withdrawn on 10 November 2025 and replaced by a state-funded schools inspection toolkit, an operating guide for inspectors and an information document for schools. Updated versions came into force on 7 September 2026.

Reporting changed too. There is no single overall effectiveness grade any more. Inspections now produce a report card with colour-coded grades for separate evaluation areas, on a five-point scale: exceptional, strong standard, expected standard, needs attention and urgent improvement. Safeguarding is reported as simply met or not met, and Ofsted is clear that the new grades cannot be compared to the old ones. The areas are safeguarding, inclusion, curriculum and teaching, achievement, attendance and behaviour, personal development and well-being, early years and post-16 where applicable, and leadership and governance.

One point for anyone rebuilding a site this year: you must still publish either a copy of your most recent Ofsted report or a link to it on the Ofsted website. Report cards have changed what you are linking to, so check the link still resolves.

What Ofsted says you should not do

The information document has a section on potential misconceptions, and it is unusually direct. Ofsted does not expect written evidence for each standard in each evaluation area. It does not expect formal self-evaluation using the toolkit, and says leaders are not at a disadvantage without one. And it does not expect a presentation or additional documents about the school. That is an argument against the thing schools do every autumn, which is build a pile of inspection paperwork. The website is what inspectors are actually told to read in advance.

Must or should publish: the distinction that matters

Both DfE pages are titled around what schools “must or should” publish, and that difference does real work. A must is a legal duty traceable to a regulation or an Act. A should is a DfE recommendation. Both sit on the same page in the same format, side by side, which is how schools end up either treating recommendations as law, or treating duties as optional and getting caught.

Ethos and values, opening hours, uniform policy and remote education provision are shoulds. Your SEN information report, pupil premium strategy statement, complaints policy and behaviour policy are musts. Two traps: with no website of your own, you must publish this information on an alternative website and give parents a link, and a school should provide a paper copy free of charge on request.

What maintained schools must publish online

Grouped the way the DfE groups it, so you can work through your own school website alongside it. Read it alongside the allergy safety policy above, which belongs on this list but is not on the DfE’s version of it yet. Everything here is something schools must publish unless we say otherwise. For the same list as a designed document with space to tick off, that is what our School Website Requirements Guide is for.

Contact details

All schools must publish their postal address, their telephone number, and the name of the member of school staff who deals with queries from parents, carers and the public. Mainstream schools must also publish the name and contact details of their special educational needs co-ordinator. Contact details are the most used pages on any school website and the cheapest to keep right, and the usual fault is a name and contact details pair for someone who left two years ago.

Admission arrangements

Foundation and voluntary aided schools must publish their admission arrangements, to comply with the school admissions code and the school admission appeals code. There are three duties here with three deadlines, and this is the area schools most often half-complete.

By 15 March each year the school must publish the admission arrangements for children starting at the normal point of entry the following September, retained for the whole academic year in which offers are made. They must explain how the school considers applications in each relevant age group, how many children the school intends to admit in each relevant age group (the published admission number), what a parent or carer needs to do to apply, and how places are allocated if there are more applicants than places. Where it applies, they must also cover selection if it is a selective school, how a parent or carer of a primary age child can request that the school delay or defer entry to reception or request admission outside the normal age group, and sixth form external applicant numbers.

By 31 August each year the school must publish how it will manage in-year applications, with an application form and supplementary information if the governing body manages them, or a link to the in-year co-ordination scheme if the local authority does.

By 28 February each year the school must publish a timetable for organising and hearing admission appeals, giving a parent or carer at least 20 school days from notification to lodge a written appeal, at least 10 school days’ notice of the hearing, and decision letters within 5 school days wherever possible.

The common fault is that last year’s admission arrangements are still the only ones published, or that the appeals timetable was never put up at all. Requests outside the normal age group are a frequent parent query, so schools must make that process easy to find.

Curriculum, including key stage 1 and key stage 4

All schools must publish the content of the curriculum in each academic year for every subject, including mandatory subjects such as religious education, even where RE is taught inside another subject or under a different name. You must also publish the right to withdraw a child from RE, how parents, carers and the public can find out more, and an accessibility plan showing how you will increase the extent to which disabled pupils participate in the curriculum. That accessibility plan is the same document referenced in the SEND section below.

Schools with key stage 1 provision, which in practice means primary schools, must publish a list of any phonics or reading schemes they use. Schools with key stage 4 provision must publish the key stage 4 courses they offer, including GCSEs. Alongside the music curriculum, all schools are expected to publish a music development plan showing how the music curriculum is resourced, and a DfE music development plan template is available.

Test, exam and assessment results, including key stage 2

All schools must publish a link to the compare school and college performance service and to their own performance measures page on it. Primary schools and secondary schools publish different performance measures from there, depending on the key stage.

Primary schools must publish their most recent key stage 2 performance measures as published by the Secretary of State: the percentage of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, the percentage reaching a higher standard, and average scaled score in reading and in maths.

Secondary schools must publish their most recent key stage 4 performance measures: Progress 8, the percentage achieving grade 5 or above in GCSE English and GCSE maths, and Attainment 8. They should also publish destinations after key stage 4, English Baccalaureate entry and the EBacc average point score. Sixth forms must publish key stage 5 measures for 16 to 18.

Nearly always the fault is figures from an earlier year than the ones now published nationally, so check what the Secretary of State has actually published for the year you claim.

Behaviour policy

Schools must publish their behaviour policy, complying with section 89 of the Education and Inspections Act 2006. With attendance and behaviour now a named evaluation area, this is not a page to leave three years out of date.

Complaints procedure

Schools must publish their complaints policy to comply with section 29 of the Education Act 2002, and must publish details of any arrangements for handling complaints from parents and carers about support for pupils with special educational needs as part of the SEN information report. A complaints procedure naming a role rather than a person ages better, and a stage-by-stage timeline is what a worried parent is looking for.

SEND information

Schools must publish an SEN information report, updated annually and amended in-year as soon as anything changes. To comply with section 69 of the Children and Families Act 2014 it must contain the SEN information specified in Schedule 1 to the Special Educational Needs and Disability Regulations 2014, with guidance at paragraphs 6.79 to 6.82 of the SEND code of practice, plus:

• arrangements for the admission of disabled pupils
• steps taken to prevent disabled pupils being treated less favourably than other pupils
• facilities provided to help disabled pupils access the school, and how disabled pupils are supported day to day
• the accessibility plan prepared under paragraph 3 of Schedule 10 to the Equality Act 2010, covering how disabled pupils participate in the curriculum, the physical environment and access to information

Inclusion is now its own evaluation area and the special educational needs information report is the public face of it. The accessibility plan must say what you will do over time rather than describe the building as it stands.

Pupil premium

Schools receiving pupil premium funding must publish a pupil premium strategy statement by 31 December each year, in the DfE template, explaining how the pupil premium funding is spent and the outcomes achieved for disadvantaged pupils.

PE and sport premium

Schools receiving PE and sport premium funding must publish, by 31 July each year, the amount received, a full breakdown of how it has been or will be spent, the impact on pupils’ participation and attainment in PE and sport, and how that will be sustained.

By the same date they must publish the percentage of year 6 pupils who met the national curriculum requirement to swim competently, confidently and proficiently over at least 25 metres, use a range of strokes effectively, and perform safe self-rescue in different water-based situations.

The second worst area in our data. The deadline falls in the last week of term and the swimming percentages get forgotten. If you publish a downloaded copy of your digital form return, convert it to HTML for accessibility.

Governance information

Covered in full above, because it is the one area Ofsted names explicitly. Maintained schools must publish information about their governing body and its committees, in line with the constitution of governing bodies of maintained schools.

Financial information

Maintained schools must publish how many employees, if any, have a gross annual salary above £100,000, in £10,000 bandings, plus a link to their page on the schools financial benchmarking service. If no employee has a gross annual salary above the threshold, say so rather than omitting the section.

Public sector equality duty

Schools must publish how they comply with the public sector equality duty, updating it every year, and their equality objectives, updating those at least every four years. Two clocks on one page, which is why it drifts. A public sector equality duty statement last reviewed in 2022 does the opposite of reassuring.

Charging and remissions policies

Schools must publish a charging policy giving the activities they will charge parents and carers for, and a remissions policy giving any circumstances in which they will wholly or partly waive a charge. Sections 449 to 462 of the Education Act 1996 set out the law for schools maintained by a local authority, and academies follow the same approach through their funding agreement rather than the local authority route.

Careers programme information

Secondary schools must publish how they deliver careers guidance to pupils in years 7 to 13: the name and contact details of the careers programme lead, a summary of the careers programme including how pupils, parents, carers, teachers and employers can access information about the careers programme, how impact is measured, and the review date. They must also publish a policy statement under section 42B of the Education Act 1997, the provider access legislation, covering access for providers of technical education and apprenticeships to pupils in years 8 to 13.

A careers programme page without a review date is incomplete on its face, and the provider access statement belongs beside the careers programme information rather than buried in a policies list, because providers of technical education need to find it too.

Ofsted reports

Schools must publish either a copy of their most recent Ofsted report or a link to it on the Ofsted website. The area schools get right more than any other.

Pay gap reporting

Schools with 250 or more employees must report gender pay gap information through the gender pay gap service and publish it in a prominent place on their website within one year of their snapshot date, 31 March for most public authority employers, under the Equality Act 2010 (Gender Pay Gap Information) Regulations 2017. Schools below the threshold need not comply but should consider the business benefits, and guidance exists for any school looking at its ethnicity pay gap voluntarily.

The ones DfE says schools should publish

Four recommendations, all quick, all worth doing because parents look for every one of them:

• a statement setting out your ethos and values
• school opening hours: the official start and end time of the compulsory school day, and the total in a typical week, including breaks but not after-school activities
• a school uniform policy, where pupils must wear one, in line with the statutory guidance on the cost of school uniforms: optional and required items, seasonal items, branded items, retailer restrictions, and where second-hand uniform can be bought
• information about your remote education provision, the third worst area in our audits

What academies and free schools must publish

What academies must publish overlaps heavily with the maintained schools list: contact details, admission arrangements, behaviour, the complaints procedure, curriculum, ethos, governance, Ofsted reports, pay gap, PE and sport premium, the public sector equality duty, pupil premium, remote education, opening hours, uniform, SEND and results all appear on both pages in the same shape. Three duties are specific to academies and trusts.

Annual reports and accounts

Academy trusts must publish their audited annual report and accounts on their website by 31 January each year.

Executive pay

Academy trusts must publish how many employees had salary and related benefits above £100,000 in the previous academic year ended 31 August, in an easily accessible form and in £10,000 bandings. Note the different year end from the maintained schools gross annual salary equivalent.

Governance and the scheme of delegation

Prioritise this one, because it is named in Ofsted’s operating guide. Inspectors check the trust’s scheme of delegation on the website before they arrive. If it is not published, or is a five-year-old PDF that no longer matches how the trust operates, that is the first thing a lead inspector notices about your governance.

For mainstream academy schools inside a larger trust, inspectors check both the school website and the trust website to establish governance across both, so where a trust publishes centrally those links have to work. Genuinely hard at scale, and we have written separately about how trusts can reduce website compliance risk across their schools.

Safeguarding information carries the most weight

Safeguarding is graded met or not met. No middle ground, no partial credit, which makes it the highest-stakes area on the report card.

Keeping Children Safe in Education 2026 came into force on 1 September 2026. At paragraph 123 it sets out the policies schools should have, starting with an effective child protection policy which, among other things, reflects your whole-school approach to child-on-child abuse, refers to local multi-agency safeguarding arrangements, covers online safety and SEND, is reviewed annually as a minimum, and is “available publicly either via the school or college website or by other means”.

Two things follow. The annual review is explicit, so a policy dated more than a year ago is visibly out of step with its own requirement. And at paragraph 293, KCSIE expects that policy and your policy on employment of ex-offenders in the application pack or linked from the website, so a broken link there is a safer-recruitment problem, not a website one.

Safeguarding is one of the strongest areas in our data. The gaps are rarely a missing policy. They are an out-of-date one, a designated safeguarding lead who has changed, or a PDF that will not open on a phone. The allergy safety policy above now sits alongside all of this.

What parents see first, and why it counts

None of the above is what a parent notices, and inspectors arrive at your website the same way a parent does. They land on the homepage, try to find something specific, and judge how the school is run by how long it takes.

So walk your own site cold, on a phone. Find your SEN information report in under thirty seconds, then who to contact about a concern, then term dates. More than two clicks from the homepage on any of those is worth fixing.

Your inspection season checklist

Short, ordered by what matters most in the days before an inspection. Not the full compliance list, which lives in the Always Ready checklist. This is the inspection-season pass.

• Governance first. Is the governing body page current? Are chairs named in full, is every governor from the last 12 months listed with dates and who appointed them, and is last academic year’s attendance record actually there?
• The allergy safety policy. Is it on the website at all? It has been a legal requirement since 1 September, it is not on either DfE list, and it is the single most likely gap on any school site right now.
• Declarations of interest. Are business, financial and pecuniary interests published, including roles at other schools?
• For academies, the scheme of delegation. Is it published, does it match reality, and does the school site link correctly to the trust site?
• Child protection policy. Is it on the site, does it open on a phone, and was it reviewed within the last twelve months?
• Contact details and named people. Check the name and contact details published for the designated safeguarding lead, the SENCo, the careers programme lead and the staff member who handles queries. Are all four the people who do those jobs today?
• Your Ofsted report link. Does it still resolve to the right page?
• Deadlines just passed. The pupil premium strategy statement (31 December), PE and sport premium with the swimming percentages (31 July), admission arrangements (15 March), in-year admissions (31 August), the appeals timetable (28 February), academy accounts (31 January).
• Results. Do your published performance measures match the most recent nationally published year, for key stage 2, key stage 4 or key stage 5 as applicable?
• Equality duty. Has the compliance statement been updated this year, and are the objectives less than four years old?
• The cold walk-through. On a phone, from the homepage, can you reach SEND, contact, admissions and term dates in two clicks?

Ten items. A morning’s work if the answers are mostly yes, and a useful week if they are not.

Common mistakes to avoid

The faults we see most often. None are about effort. They are about how websites decay.

Treating the website as a publishing job rather than a maintenance job

Our 2025 data puts the average compliance score at 80.2% and the median at 85%, but only 6.5% of audits, 16 out of 247, found a fully compliant site. Nearly everyone is close, almost nobody is complete. That is the signature of drift, not neglect.

Publishing everything as a PDF

A PDF satisfies the letter of “publish” and fails the reader: often unusable on a phone, invisible to site search, hard for assistive technology. The DfE makes the accessibility point explicitly for the PE and sport premium digital form. Take that as the general steer.

Undated policies and named individuals

With no review date, nobody can tell whether a policy is current, and the reader assumes the worst. With a date over a year old on something requiring annual review, you have documented your own gap. Same class of problem with people: pages naming a person without a role break silently the moment they leave, so name the role, then the person.

Leaving the attendance record until it is asked for

Governor attendance refers to the last academic year, so it needs updating each autumn. The most commonly missing element of the most commonly missed area, and it takes ten minutes.

Assuming the trust has handled it

In a multi-academy trust, duties can sit at school level, trust level or both, and “the trust does that” is a belief rather than a check. Verify where each duty actually lives.

Building an inspection folder instead of fixing the website

Ofsted says plainly it does not expect documents prepared for inspection. Yet the website, which inspectors are told to read in advance, gets attention last. More on that inversion in the most common school website compliance mistakes in 2026.

How to stay ready without a website panic

Inspection season feels stressful because the work is annual but the trigger is random. You cannot schedule a phone call, so stop tying the work to the call.

Three things. Put the fixed deadlines in a calendar: 28 February, 15 March, 31 July, 31 August, 31 December, 31 January, plus the annual allergy policy review. Give each area a named owner, because “the school” does not update a webpage, a person does. And check the whole site once a term rather than once a year, frequent enough to catch drift and rare enough to actually happen.

That is what we mean by being Always Ready rather than Ofsted panicked. Not more work. The same work, spread out, so a Monday morning call changes your week but not your website.

If you would rather someone else checked, that is what our school website audits are for. If the real problem is that your site makes updating hard, that is a school website software question, not a compliance one. Trust leaders can talk to our trust team, and we run an Ofsted Ready website event to work through it live.

Frequently asked questions

Does Ofsted check your school website?

Yes. Ofsted’s operating guide tells the lead inspector to review the school and trust website before arriving, checking governance arrangements, federation status, the trust’s scheme of delegation for an academy, and whether an interim executive board is in place. It also directs them to review any further relevant information there.

Are there official requirements set by Ofsted?

Not as a published checklist. The duties come from DfE regulations, and Ofsted’s current documents do not list statutory website content to verify in the way the old handbook did. What they do set out is the governance checks above.

How much notice do we get before an inspection?

Roughly one working day. The lead inspector usually calls between 9.30 and 10am on a Monday and inspectors arrive the next day. After a bank holiday or in the first week back after Christmas, Easter or the summer, the call may come on a Tuesday. Without notice, expect a call about 15 minutes before they arrive.

Have the school website requirements changed for 2026 to 2027?

Yes, one has. Since 1 September 2026 you must publish an allergy safety policy on your school website, under section 100A of the Children and Families Act 2014, inserted by section 34 of the Children’s Wellbeing and Schools Act 2026. Everything else on the two DfE publish-online lists is unchanged, and both pages still read 24 October 2024, which is why you will not find the allergy duty on them. Inspection has also changed a great deal, with the handbook replaced in November 2025 and report cards replacing the single overall grade.

Where does safeguarding information have to be published?

Keeping Children Safe in Education 2026, at paragraph 123, says the child protection policy must be available publicly either via the school or college website or by other means, and reviewed at least annually. Paragraph 293 also expects it, and your policy on employment of ex-offenders, in the application pack or linked from the website.

What should we do first if our website is behind?

Governance. The only area Ofsted names explicitly for a pre-inspection website check, and the area our audits find wrong most often. Start with the governor list, the dates, who appointed whom, last academic year’s attendance record and the declarations of interest. Then safeguarding, then the dated deadlines you have most recently passed.

Where to go from here

Inspection season does not really require a special effort on your website. It requires that the ordinary effort has already happened, because the review takes place in the day between a phone call and an arrival. Most schools are close, hardly any complete, and the gaps cluster in the areas easiest to let slide. A morning with the checklist above will tell you where you stand.

For the full picture rather than the inspection-season slice, download the School Website Requirements Guide, which comes with our annual State of School Website Compliance report, or join the next free compliance workshop and we will walk the current requirements through with you. If you would rather just ask us something, get in touch.
