For England primary & secondary schools - academy or maintained

Your school's statutory policies, checked privately.

PolicyCheck quietly reviews your own school website against the DfE's statutory publishing requirements - 36 checks from admissions to safeguarding - and gives you a private, evidence-linked report of what's there, what's missing and what's out of date, so you can put it right before anyone else notices.

Free - you'll verify your school email with a 6-digit code first, so every school's results stay private.

Private and confidential. We only read what your website already publishes - and we never name, rank or share a single school.

What gets checked

Statutory presence

16 must-publish items (admissions, SEN report, safeguarding, pupil premium, attendance...) plus the DfE "should publish" set and trust-level duties.

Written properly

Content checks, not just presence: does safeguarding cite KCSIE 2025? Is the pupil premium statement for 2025/26 with real amounts? Are equality objectives inside their 4-year window?

Evidence, never a verdict

Every finding links to the exact page or PDF we found - or tells you plainly what we couldn't find, with the GOV.UK source. An audit aid to help you get ahead, not a judgement.

Free to check. £10 for a report, £25 to fix the gaps.

Run the scan as often as you like, free. For a clean, private report to hand to governors or your trust board it's £10 per school - or £25 to have us also draft the policies you're missing or need to update, ready to adopt. Single school or whole trust.

Compare the free & paid plans

Secure card payment via Stripe. The scan itself is always free.

Running a whole trust?

Check every school in your trust in one go and get the school-by-requirement matrix your board and Ofsted prep need, plus a trust-level check of the 10 statutory duties on the trust's own website. We already hold the school lists, so there's nothing to send us.

Scan your trust

Your results stay private

PolicyCheck is a confidential check-up, not a league table. We never publish a list of schools or their scores, we don't rank anyone, and a scan only ever reads pages your website already makes public. Your report is yours - to fix quietly, or to share with your own governors and board if you choose. Our privacy commitments →
