The rules: in summary
- All maintained schools and academies must publish up-to-date governance information on their websites
- The exact information required is different for maintained schools and academies
- It must be in a readily accessible form, meaning directly on to webpages, without the need to download or open a separate document
This is set out in:
- Paragraph 5.7.2 of the maintained schools governance guide
- Paragraph 1.49 of the Academy Trust Handbook 2024 (it's available as a PDF on the main ATH page)
