September is the month when everything seems to need doing at once. This pack sorts the month's leadership work into what needs doing now, what can be delegated and what can wait, with a record sheet for KCSIE 2026 Part one.
What's inside
- September Leadership Pack 2026 (about 9 pages): the fixed dates for the month, then twelve sections covering your own priorities, safeguarding and KCSIE 2026, staffing and the first fortnight, appraisal and pay, curriculum and assessment, attendance and inclusion, behaviour and culture, finance, governance, site and systems, families, and what can wait. Each section is a table with columns for Now, Delegate or later, an owner and a tick.
- KCSIE 2026 Part one issue and read record (about 5 pages): who has to receive Part one and by when, a row per adult with issued and confirmed dates, a briefing plan for the changes and a one-page governor assurance summary. It reflects the withdrawal of the condensed Part one (Annex A) for 2026.
