Updated DfE Governance Guides – Friday 17 July 2026

After last week’s bumper update we finish off the academic year with a short and sweet governance update.

The DfE has updated it’s governance guides for academy trusts and maintained schools to reflect changes to the Academy Trust Handbook and other recent guidance spanning allergy safety, inclusion, school meal expansion, sustainability leadership and more.

I will provide a full briefing as an agenda item at our first meeting in the Autumn term.

Until then have a relaxing and enjoyable summer and see you all in September.
