Our lists are based on statutory guidance from the DfE and other relevant legislation. We've also included policies and documents where statutory guidance sets out that schools 'should' have them – this is because you'd need a good reason not to have them.
Maintained schools
Our list for maintained schools covers:
- All local authority (LA)-maintained schools, including maintained special schools and pupil referral units

- Foundation and voluntary schools
Academies within a MAT, including free schools
If you’re part of a multi-academy trust (MAT), please check your scheme of delegation and consult your trust to find out which policies you’re responsible for.
We've left out the ones that your trust will be responsible for at a trust level, such as the reserves policy and the modern slavery act statement.
