Know my School has had an upgrade! You will now find a policy portal within your subscription and the even better news is it comes at no extra cost to you subscription and is designed to provide a streamlined approach to managing and implanting school policies.

What is Policy Portal?

It is a space where all your school policies are seamlessly organised and easily accessible to everyone who needs them. It includes the following features:

• Efficiently manage and monitor policy implementation.
• Receive notifications for updates that are needed for policies.
• Connect policies to key priorities within your school.
• Comment on policies for collaborative improvement.
• Secure storage for all policies in one central location.
• Share policies securely with governors for quick and efficient approval.

We have put together a free Policy pack for schools to download to go along with the release of Policy Portal. The Policy pack includes:

• Policy overview
• List of statutory policies as a handy tick list
• Polices you should have on your school website.
• Sample policies for key subjects.

Policy portal is a free addition to a Know my School subscription which aims to bring balance to school leaders. Within the platform, leaders not only have access to our new Policy portal but also our leadership and management tools that give you everything you need to support your school’s self-evaluation and improvement planning.

I needed a way to open the self-evaluation process as it can often fall on the head and it isn’t best practice to do this in isolation, Know my School enables all leaders to be involved in the process and it increases the dialogue around self-evaluation in each school, as well as ensuring that completing the SEF for school leaders is a less lonely and onerous tasks.” Vic Goddard CEO Passmores Co-operative learning community.
