ExploreSchool Policy Development & Review
Every school carries a large suite of policies, many of them statutory, and keeping them current, compliant, and consistent with what you actually do is a genuine burden. Out-of-date policies cause problems at exactly the wrong moment.
We develop and review school policies, so yours are compliant, workable, and match your practice, without swallowing your leadership team’s time.
What Is Our Policy Service?
It is support to develop and review your school or trust policies. We check your statutory and recommended policies against current requirements, rewrite or refresh them where needed, and make sure they are consistent with each other and with what your school actually does.
The focus is on policies people can follow, not documents that sit unread until something goes wrong.
Who Is Our Policy Service For?
It is for schools, academies, and trusts that want their policies kept current and compliant, or a full policy suite reviewed in one go. It suits leaders drowning in review dates, and trusts wanting consistent policies across every school.

How Does Our Policy Service Help Your School, Academy, Trust, or Setting?
1
Stay compliant
Policies date fast as guidance changes. We keep yours current, so you are never caught with an out-of-date statutory policy.
2
Save leadership time
Writing and reviewing policies eats hours. We take that load off your team so it is done properly, not squeezed in.
3
Match policy to practice
A policy that does not reflect reality is a risk. We make sure yours describe what your school genuinely does.
4
Keep the suite consistent
Policies often contradict each other over time. We check the whole set hangs together and speaks with one voice.
5
Make them usable
A good policy is one people can follow. We write clearly, so staff can actually use them rather than ignore them.
6
Never miss a review
We give you a clear review schedule, so policies are updated on time rather than rediscovered when they have lapsed.
7
Standardise across a trust
We help trusts hold a consistent, compliant policy suite across schools, with room for local context where it matters.
