Back to school webinar for Academies & Maintained Schools
With September fast approaching, now is the perfect time to ensure your academy or maintained school is fully prepared for the year ahead. This focused and practical session is designed to give school leaders a clear picture of the key legal and regulatory changes coming into effect, as well as a forward look at what the Government has in store over the coming year.
What will this training cover?
This session will walk you through everything you need to know ahead of your September INSET, covering both the changes already confirmed and those on the horizon.
We'll explore the anticipated changes arising from the Children's Wellbeing and Schools Act 2026 and what these mean in practice for your academy or maintained school. You'll also gain a clear understanding of the latest position on the SEN White Paper and plans for the EHCP regime, Martyn's Law and protective security requirements, the mandatory reporting duty and the DBS changes — helping you to plan ahead with confidence.
We'll also address the current position on Relationships, Sex and Health Education and guidance on gender questioning children, as well as highlighting any previously anticipated changes that have since fallen away.
To close, we'll provide an up-to-date inspection update to ensure you're fully informed heading into the new academic year.

This session is designed for leaders and governance professionals across academies and maintained schools. It is particularly relevant for:
- CEOs, Principals and Headteachers
- CFOs and Business Managers
- Senior Leadership Teams and Compliance leads
- Governors, Trustees and their Clerks
