BPSI School website review

Schools that are an academy or free school, need to check their funding agreement to find out what should be published on the school’s website.

 

Ofsted Inspectors may view a school's website prior to, or during, an inspection to ensure it meets DfE regulations.

 

Details of the regulations can be found here:
DfE - What maintained schools must publish online

​​

 

BPSI can support your school with a BPSI School Website Review.  There are two options available to schools:

 
Standard

 

The BPSI adviser (Ofsted trained) would undertake a desktop review of the school’s website to identify whether it was statutorily compliant. The adviser would complete and send the school a brief report indicating the findings and identifying (via bullet points) areas of strength and possible areas of improvement.

 

It is envisaged that the adviser would bill for between 2 to 3 BPSI hours

 
Enhanced

 

The BPSI adviser (Ofsted trained) would undertake a desktop review of the school’s website to identify whether it was statutorily compliant. The adviser would complete and send the school a brief report indicating the findings and identifying (via bullet points) areas of strength and possible areas of improvement.

The adviser would also review and report to the school:

  • how effective the website was at explaining the narrative of the school,

  • how well it presented the school’s ethos

  • How easy the website is to navigate for an Ofsted Inspector

 

It is envisaged that the adviser would bill for between 5 to 6 BPSI hours.

How to arrange a BPSI School website review

If you would like to arrange a BPSI School Website Review, please take a look at the BPSI Advisers below and decide who you would like to carry out your review. 

We recommend you contact your chosen adviser direct.  This ensures that there are no delays in getting your review underway and you can explain to her/him your specific needs.  Contact details for all of the BPSI Advisers can be found on the Headteachers’ page of the BPSI Members’ Area web-site or by contacting bels.training@barnet.gov.uk

Is your school’s website compliant with the DfE’s expectations?​Every local-authority-maintained school must publish specific information on its website to comply with The School Information (England) (Amendment) Regulations 2012.
