The essentials: guidance and advice for schools
This section brings together all statutory guidance and key advice for schools. The statutory guidance reflects the current legal position and will be updated to reflect changes to legislation and government policy. We continue to review all existing advice, aiming to remove what is not necessary and simplify what is left. Our intention is that guidance is short and clear about what schools have to do, should do and can choose to do. We are continuing to update this section to include advice documents from the Department’s executive agencies. The statutory guidance documents relate to education regulations that must be followed, and do not include the full suite of education regulations and duties. Please email us your feedback on how useful you found this section.
