Detailed overview

The Ofsted Documents Schools Must Provide: Checklist 2026/27 lists the documents schools must make available to inspectors by 8am on the first day of inspection. This 2026/27 edition is checked against Ofsted's inspection information and operating guide for inspections from September 2026, and KCSIE 2026.

What's inside

  • Ofsted's current list, grouped into strategic documents, behaviour and attendance, operational information and safeguarding
  • The new item from August 2026: DBS and other safeguarding check records for volunteers in regulated activity
  • Columns to record where each document is kept and when it was checked
  • Ofsted's list of what schools do not need to provide
  • Notes on the planning call, self-evaluation and what Ofsted does not expect
  • Links to every source

Useful for headteachers, SLT, office teams, DSLs and governors.

Format: editable Word document and a PDF, 5 pages. This is a HeadteacherChat resource, not an official Ofsted publication.
