**2018 UPDATES** Mandatory Website Content / Ofsted

[FN-GM]

Hello,

 

Today the DFE updated the mandatory information that must be published on school websites.

 

Unfortunately they haven't told us what has changed in the revision notes.

 

Maintained Schools - https://www.gov.uk/guidance/what-maintained-schools-must-publish-online

Academies - https://www.gov.uk/guidance/what-academies-free-schools-and-colleges-should-publish-online

 

Thanks

 

PS: I wasn't sure where to put this so mods please feel free to move.

Unfortunately they haven't told us what has changed in the revision notes.

I did a quick comparison of each of the webpages below using Beyond Compare. The attached PDFs show exactly what has changed.

Wooah. You have to publish all that? In Wales it seems like it's still a bonus if you have a website at all - due to the Hwb debacle taking out lots of migrated sites, even that's not a given here! We have a small list of things we're required to publish, though I suspect this will align more with the English list in time.

They have mixed secondary and primary schools in the same page so its not quite all that but still a lot!

Not sure if any of you are aware but they have made an update on the SEN section. Only just found this out.

What update?

What update?

They've added additional clarification to the regulations of the SEN section. Might not be an important update.
