🔒 Designed from KCSIE 2026 and Working Together to Safeguard Children – free to download.

Planning ongoing safeguarding training across a full academic year is one of those tasks that matters but rarely has dedicated time attached to it. This free safeguarding training planner gives you a half-termly framework to map your whole-school safeguarding CPD from September to July – without having to work out the sequencing yourself.

☑️ Six half-termly themes, each covering the key KCSIE topics relevant to that period of the year
☑️ Checklist-style layout so you can track what's been covered and what's still to come
☑️ Grounded in spaced practice – designed to keep staff knowledge active across the year, not just refreshed in September
☑️ Flexible – use it as written or adapt it to reflect your school's priorities and community context
☑️ Links to ready-made resources for each half-term so you can move straight from plan to delivery

Each half-term section explains not just what to cover but why that theme sits in that part of the year, so the rationale is built in if you need to explain your training plan to a headteacher, governor or inspector.

👉 Got the plan – now need the resources? The Safeguarding Training Pack – Full Year gives you everything on this planner, ready to deliver – training PowerPoints and full sets of scenarios, snapshots and quizzes for every half-term, aligned to KCSIE 2026.

Gathering meaningful stakeholder feedback on leadership and governance requires a different kind of question design. You are not asking pupils, parents or staff to pass judgement on your leadership team – you are exploring whether the school has a culture where people feel listened to, valued and confident that decisions are made in their best interests.

Getting this right means moving beyond satisfaction ratings and asking questions that surface genuine experience of culture, communication and trust. This pack gives you everything you need to plan, administer, analyse and act on stakeholder feedback about leadership and governance, and because the core survey templates come pre-populated with carefully considered questions, you can move from planning to distribution with minimal preparation time.

You'll get:

☑️ Three ready-to-use surveys – a pupil survey in two versions (emoji scale for younger or less confident pupils; Likert scale for older or more able pupils), a parent survey and a staff survey – all aligned to the 2025 Ofsted School Inspection Toolkit

☑️ A survey analysis template with tally tables, open question theme tables, a summary and next steps section, and an Overall Summary Triangulation table with RAG ratings

☑️ A pre-survey checklist to guide you through each stage of the process, and four survey letter templates for communicating with parents and staff before and after the survey

☑️ A PDF guidance document covering the full survey cycle, and a free worked example to help you interpret and act on your results

Updated for 2026

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 2026.

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.

The quality of your curriculum and teaching sits at the heart of what Ofsted evaluates but knowing how well it lands with pupils, parents and staff requires more than lesson observations and assessment data.

Understanding how well your school includes and supports every pupil – those with SEND, those who are disadvantaged, those known to children's social care and those who face less visible barriers to learning – requires more than your own professional judgement. It requires the voices of pupils, parents and staff, gathered systematically and analysed in a way that leads to meaningful action.

Gathering meaningful stakeholder feedback on achievement involves more than asking whether pupils are making progress. To build an accurate and actionable picture, you need questions that get beneath surface-level satisfaction, exploring how well pupils across different groups are supported to achieve, how parents understand and engage with their child's learning, and how confident staff feel in assessing, tracking and addressing underachievement.

This pack gives you everything you need to plan, administer, analyse and act on stakeholder feedback about achievement, and because the core survey templates come pre-populated with carefully considered questions, you can move from planning to distribution with minimal preparation time.

You'll get:

☑️ Three ready-to-use surveys – a pupil survey in two versions (emoji scale for younger or less confident pupils; Likert scale for older or more able pupils), a parent survey and a staff survey – all aligned to the 2025 Ofsted School Inspection Toolkit

Personal development is one of the most far-reaching areas Ofsted evaluates, covering everything from character and resilience to careers, mental health, British values and enrichment. Knowing what pupils, parents and staff actually think about how well your school delivers in this area is essential for honest self-evaluation, and gathering that feedback well takes more than a quick questionnaire.

Gathering meaningful stakeholder feedback on post-16 provision requires a different frame from surveys elsewhere in the school. Post-16 students are well placed to reflect critically on whether their courses are stretching them, whether they received genuinely useful guidance when choosing their programme and whether provision is equipping them for life beyond school. Parents of post-16 students often feel less visible in the school community than they did lower down, and staff working in sixth form contexts bring specific expertise and perspectives that whole-school surveys rarely capture in enough depth.

This pack gives you everything you need to plan, administer, analyse and act on stakeholder feedback about post-16 provision, and because the core survey templates come pre-populated with carefully considered questions, you can move from planning to distribution with minimal preparation time.

You'll get:

☑️ A survey analysis template with tally tables, open question theme tables, a summary and next steps section, and an Overall Summary Triangulation table with RAG ratings

☑️ A pre-survey checklist to guide you through each stage of the process, and four survey letter templates for communicating with parents and staff before and after the survey
