An audit tool for use by school leaders to accurately evaluate the extent to which their schools meet the requirements of the Independent School Standards (2014). This tool was created with reference to DfE and Ofsted guidance: It is written in plain English. Not all of the wording of the standards is included on this document. Instead, for each standard, there is a set of questions that require a yes/no response to determine if your school meets the requirements of the standard. Feedback from Dan Tipp: Director of Belong Learning “We used your independent school standards audit tool recently - very helpful” Version 10 - September 2024 From version 9a to version 10 the only standard which has had substantive changes is standard 15. This comes as a result of the updates to the regulations governing pupil registration and school attendance made on the 19th of August 2024. The rest of the changes are minor, focused on improving clarity and providing additional guidance.

The regulations which govern the admissions register have changed and will come into effect on the 19th of August 2024. We have updated our admissions register template to meet those regulations. Get your updated copy here!
