This handy bundle will support you, a member of your team or one of your governors or trustees to check your school's website to ensure compliance with the statutory information that schools must publish online in 2025.

Created from the DfE guidance documents of what schools must or should publish online for both maintained schools and academies, the 10-page editable checklist gives you the exact items that need to published depending on your type of school. This means you can work through the list and check your school's website for compliance, noting down any actions that need to be taken or any out-of-date information. The accompanying guidance gives you helpful hints and advice on how best to conduct the check as well as information on the importance of having an up-to-date website as Ofsted will check this before they visit your setting. 

The Department for Education updates the requirements for school websites on a regular basis. If you purchase this bundle and the guidance is subsequently updated, we'll update the checklist and notify you via email; you can then redownload the list free of charge to ensure you're always compliant. This means you're not only getting great value for money to support your school budget, but you'll build your understanding of what schools have to publish online so that you feel confident about the accuracy of the information you're presenting to the public.

In a busy school environment with pressing priorities, school accessibility can often get overlooked. However, ensuring that your school environment, provision and processes are accessible and inclusive for all is of key importance.

Designed to support school leaders to audit their current approach and evaluate their strengths and next steps, this 19-page editable School Accessibility Audit template will walk you through the following key areas:

• Leadership and governance
• Curriculum and learning
• Communication and parent engagement
• School entrance and the outdoor school site
• Rooms, corridors and lighting
• Stairs and lifts
• Toilets and changing areas
• Fire exits
• Website and information sharing
• Equality adjustments 
  

Use the audit template collaboratively with key members of your team, such as your health and safety governor, premises caretaker or site manager, special educational needs and disabilities coordinator (SENDCo) and office staff to gather a picture of accessibility and inclusion in your school or college.

Once you've completed the audit, the template also includes a handy action plan, allowing you to document your plan for improving your facilities, processes and provision for all. 

This comprehensive audit will support you to assess your setting's current position against the DfE's Digital and Technology Standards for Schools and Colleges. Split into 11 sections that mirror the digital and technology standards and containing over 50 pages, this editable Word document walks you through what schools should have in place when it comes to ensuring they've got a safe, robust and sustainable digital infrastructure. 

The audit can be used flexibly by working through sections at different points and with different stakeholders. For example, you may wish to work with your ICT service provider or in-house IT staff on the more technical parts of the audit, such as the sections on broadband internet, cloud solutions, networks and servers. This will allow you to find out where you currently meet these standards so you can then focus on improving your IT and digital provision in other areas.

Part of the standards require schools to have a member of SLT who is the digital technology lead - if your setting does not have one yet, you may wish to start with the sections of digital leadership and governance before moving on to other aspects of the audit, such as laptops, desktops and tablets, and digital accessibility. You may also wish to work with your DSL when looking at safeguarding requirements and keeping children safe by using the sections on cyber security, and filtering and monitoring, which is also available from Honeyguide as an individual audit here: Filtering and Monitoring Audit and Action Plan.

School leaders may also find this audit helpful when looking to procure new IT equipment, infrastructure or services to ensure that any upgrades meet and exceed the digital and technology standards. This allows you to ensure you're making robust and carefully researched purchasing decisions.

Ensuring your school has safe and secure IT systems can be challenging, especially when it comes to the technical elements. This audit will support you by breaking down all of the complex digital and technological requirements into manageable chunks so that you focus on finding our your current position and any further improvements you need to make.
