UPDATE – This page is a few years old now so please visit our website for the latest Ofsted & statutory requirements checklist<\/a>.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n This time last year we ploughed through not just the Ofsted school inspection handbook, the school framework for school inspection but also 18 different briefing notes for inspectors. Phew! Are we mad? Quite possibly. But we simply wanted to make sure we can\u00a0give you the best advice when it comes to your school website. We also produced a handy pdf checklist for you to use when you come to think about the content for your website. So this year, we\u00a0put the kettle on, lined up a stack of digestives and settled in for another mammoth read. But, hallelujah! Over the summer Ofsted have revised their documentation for inspectors and culled “275 pages” of guidance! Relieved,\u00a0we only needed to read the new handbook, framework plus Inspecting safeguarding &\u00a0the Special Educational Needs (Information) Regulations 2014… Oh dear, more digestives please… We’ve highlighted the key points below and provide links to key resources later.<\/p>\n This is a new statutory requirement from September 1 2014. These regulations are discussed more fully in our blog post Special Education Needs Regulations for your school website<\/a>.<\/p>\n Manner of publication of report 52. The governing body or proprietor of the school must publish on the school\u2019s website<\/strong> its \u00a0report containing SEN information.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n <\/p>\n 4. Inspectors must use all available evidence to develop an initial picture of the school\u2019s academic performance. Planning for the inspection must be informed by analysis of:<\/p>\n information on the school\u2019s website<\/strong>, including its statement on the use of the pupil premium, the statutory sharing with parents of curriculum information (so the lead inspector can start to assess the breadth and balance of the school\u2019s curriculum and whether it is likely to promote preparation for, and an appreciation of life in modern Britain), the special educational needs (SEN) information report, and other information for parents<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Where “other information for parents” refers to statutory website content<\/a>.<\/p>\n 152. Inspectors should consider how well leadership and management ensure that the curriculum:<\/p>\n information about what is taught in the curriculum each year is shared with parents and carers, including by meeting the statutory requirement to make curriculum information available on the school\u2019s website<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n It’s worth noting that if you do not have the full statutory information on your school website it appears you cannot<\/strong> achieve an Outstanding grade.<\/p>\n “It is not yet an outstanding school because Governors do not meet statutory requirements with respect to the school website.” OfstedInspection Report for Primary School, Shropshire<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n <\/p>\n 53. Inspectors should ensure that they are aware of information available to the public, reported in the press or accessible on the internet, including that available on the school\u2019s website<\/strong>. This may contain information related to safeguarding. Inspectors should therefore do a check on the internet as part of their pre-inspection planning to see whether there are any safeguarding issues that may need to be followed up during inspection.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n <\/p>\n Ofsted:\u00a0The framework for school inspection<\/a>\u00a0– updated July 2014 Ofsted:\u00a0School inspection handbook<\/a> – updated August 2014 Ofsted:\u00a0Inspecting safeguarding in maintained schools and academies<\/a>\u00a0– updated July 2014 Legislation.gov.uk:\u00a0The Special Educational Needs and Disability Regulations 2014<\/a>\u00a0– September 2014<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" There are new regulations for school website content from September 2014 as well as updates to Ofsted requirements.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":12,"featured_media":953,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5,14,11],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.greenhouseschoolwebsites.co.uk\/blog\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/939"}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.greenhouseschoolwebsites.co.uk\/blog\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.greenhouseschoolwebsites.co.uk\/blog\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.greenhouseschoolwebsites.co.uk\/blog\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/12"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.greenhouseschoolwebsites.co.uk\/blog\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=939"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"http:\/\/www.greenhouseschoolwebsites.co.uk\/blog\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/939\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.greenhouseschoolwebsites.co.uk\/blog\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/953"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.greenhouseschoolwebsites.co.uk\/blog\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=939"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.greenhouseschoolwebsites.co.uk\/blog\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=939"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.greenhouseschoolwebsites.co.uk\/blog\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=939"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}Special Educational Needs (Information) Regulations 2014<\/h2>\n
