Required Reading
As Governors or Staff Members, there are a number of documents that are ‘required reading’, and these change periodically as part of a cyclical review by government, the DfE, Ofsted and others. This page allows for the easy collation of ‘read receipts’ , part of the evidence-building required to satisfy our own responsibilities and provide evidence for external scrutiny.
