School websites: statutory requirements

Schools are required to publish certain information online – which in practice means you should have a school website. The guidelines below are designed to help schools ensure that the information on their websites will satisfy Ofsted's requirements.

If you’re an academy or free school, you need to check your funding agreement to find out what you should publish on your website.
