Policy & Guidance 2026 England

Keeping on top of national policy can be difficult. Our Policy & Guidance Centre brings together the key 2026 guidance for schools in England and explains what it means in clear, practical language.

Access the latest information on school attendance, Ofsted, KCSIE and safeguarding, SEND, alternative provision, children missing education, penalty notices, exclusions and medical needs — with concise summaries, leadership checks and direct links to the official source.

The Centre includes the July 2026 attendance guidance update, preparations for KCSIE 2026 from 1 September, and Ofsted’s updated inspection materials for use from 7 September 2026.
