📚 What Schools Must Publish on Their Official Website: A Complete Compliance Checklist | 学校必须在官网公开的信息清单：完整合规核对表
A school website is no longer a marketing brochure. In the UK it is a regulated publication, and the information that must appear on it is defined by statutes, inspection frameworks and funding agreements. For parents and international families choosing a school, the website is the first – and often the only – auditable evidence of how the school is run.
学校官网早已不只是宣传册。在英国，它是一份受监管的公开出版物，必须公示的信息由法律、检查框架与拨款协议共同规定。对于择校的家长和国际家庭而言，官网是了解学校运作的”第一手、可核查”的证据，有时甚至是唯一的证据。
1. Why Website Disclosure Is Regulated | 为什么官网披露会被监管
Website publication requirements exist for three reasons: informed consumer choice, accountability for public money, and safeguarding transparency. When a school publishes its safeguarding policy, complaints procedure and exam results online, parents can compare schools on consistent criteria rather than on marketing language.
官网信息公开要求出于三个目的：让家长在信息充分的前提下做选择、让公共资金接受问责、让安全保障工作透明化。当学校把安全保护政策、投诉程序与考试成绩公开在官网上，家长就能按统一标准比较学校，而不是被宣传话术牵着走。
For independent schools, publishing requirements are also a contractual matter. A parent who pays fees enters into a consumer contract, and misleading or missing information can give rise to claims under consumer protection law.
对私立学校而言，信息公开还涉及合同问题。缴纳学费的家长与学校之间构成消费者合同关系，信息缺失或误导可能触发消费者保护法下的索赔。
2. Who Requires What: The Regulatory Map | 谁要求什么：监管框架地图
Requirements differ sharply by school type. A maintained primary school, an academy and an independent boarding school operate under different frameworks, and international families often confuse them.
不同学校类型的要求差异很大。公立小学、学院制学校（academy）与私立寄宿学校适用不同框架，国际家庭常常把它们混为一谈。
| School type | 主框架 | Key publication duty |
| Maintained school (England) | DfE online publication guidance | Admissions, results, curriculum, pupil premium, SEND report |
| Academy / free school | Funding agreement + DfE guidance | Same core set, plus governance and accounts |
| Independent school | Independent School Standards | Proprietor details, fees, complaints, inspection report |
| Boarding school | Boarding welfare standards | Pastoral care, medical, guardianship, exeat rules |
| All schools | Safeguarding law, UK GDPR, Equality Act | Child protection policy, privacy notice, equality objectives |
If a school cannot tell you which framework it is registered under, treat that as a warning sign rather than a clerical detail.
如果一所学校说不清自己受哪个框架监管，这不是行政细节问题，而是一个应当警惕的信号。
3. Identity, Ownership and Contact Details | 身份、所有权与联系方式
Every school website should state the legal identity of the body responsible for the school. For independent schools this means the name of the proprietor – which may be a company, a charity or an individual – plus the registered address and company or charity number.
每所学校的官网都应写明办学主体的法律身份。对私立学校而言，这指”举办者”的名称——可能是公司、慈善机构或个人——以及注册地址和公司号/慈善号。
The site should also list the head teacher or principal, the chair of governors or trustees, the designated safeguarding lead, and the special educational needs coordinator (SENCo). A generic contact form is not sufficient; a telephone number and a postal address are expected.
官网还应列出校长、校董会或理事会主席、指定安全保护负责人（DSL）以及特殊教育需求协调员（SENCo）。只提供一个通用联系表单是不够的，通常要求给出电话与通信地址。
4. Safeguarding and Behaviour Policies | 安全保障与行为管理政策
Safeguarding requirements are the most strictly enforced part of website disclosure. Schools must publish a child protection policy that is publicly available, and a behaviour policy that is also published online.
安全保障是官网信息公开中执行最严格的部分。学校必须公开儿童保护政策（面向公众可获取），并且行为管理政策也必须发布在官网上。
The safeguarding material should name the designated safeguarding lead, explain how concerns are reported by pupils, staff and parents, and set out how the school manages allegations against staff. Schools should also publish information about their online safety arrangements, including filtering and monitoring.
安全保护材料应指明指定安全保护负责人，说明学生、教职员工与家长如何报告担忧，并交代学校如何处理针对教职员工的指控。学校还应公开其网络安全安排，包括内容过滤与监控措施。
If a safeguarding policy is dated more than a year ago and has no review date, that is a compliance failure, not a formatting issue.
如果安全保护政策的日期已超过一年且未标注复审日期，那属于合规缺失，不是排版问题。
5. Academic Information: Curriculum, Results and Destinations | 学术信息：课程、成绩与升学去向
Schools must publish a curriculum overview that explains what is taught in each year group and each subject. The description should be substantive – topics, texts, assessment approach – rather than a list of subject names.
学校必须公开课程概览，说明各年级、各学科教授什么内容。这些描述应当有实质信息——主题、教材文本、评估方式——而不是仅列出一串学科名称。
Public examination results must be published in a form that allows comparison. For schools entering pupils for GCSE and A-Level, this means results by qualification and by subject where possible, plus a link to the official performance tables. Independent schools should state whether they take GCSE, A-Level, IB or another pathway.
公开考试成绩必须以可比较的形式发布。对于组织学生参加 GCSE 与 A-Level 的学校，这意味着按证书类型、并尽可能按学科公布成绩，同时提供官方绩效数据表的链接。私立学校应说明学生走的是 GCSE、A-Level、IB 还是其他路径。
University destinations and leaver destinations should be presented honestly, with cohort sizes. A claim such as “90% to Russell Group” means very little without the number of pupils and the years covered.
大学去向与毕业生去向应如实呈现，并标注年级人数。像”90% 升入罗素集团”这样的说法，如果不给出学生人数与统计年份，参考价值极低。
6. Admissions, Fees and Refund Terms | 招生、学费与退费条款
Admissions information must include the arrangement itself: entry points, oversubscription criteria, deadlines, assessment or interview format, and the appeals timetable where appeals apply.
招生信息必须包含招生规则本身：入学节点、超额录取的排序标准、截止日期、测试或面试形式，以及在适用情况下的申诉时间表。
Fees must be published clearly. A compliant fee page normally states the fee per term or per year, what is included, what is charged as an extra, the deposit required, the notice period for withdrawal, and the circumstances in which fees are refunded or not refunded.
学费必须清晰公开。合规的学费页面通常说明每学期或每学年学费、费用包含项、额外收费项目、所需押金、退学通知期，以及在何种情况下学费可退或不可退。
Independent schools should ensure that terms and conditions are transparent about fee increases, since unpredictable or vaguely worded increases have been a focus of consumer regulators.
私立学校应确保条款与细则在学费上涨问题上透明，因为不可预测或措辞含糊的涨价一直是消费者监管机构关注的焦点。
7. Governance, Trustees and Financial Accountability | 治理结构、理事与财务问责
Parents are entitled to know who runs the school. Compliant websites publish the governance structure, the names of governors or trustees, their roles and committee memberships, and a register of relevant business interests.
家长有权知道学校由谁管理。合规官网会公开治理结构、校董或理事名单、各自职务与所属委员会，以及相关商业利益登记表。
Academies and multi-academy trusts should publish annual accounts and the funding agreement. Schools with 250 or more employees may also be required to publish gender pay gap data.
学院制学校与多校信托应公开年度财务报告与拨款协议。雇员达到 250 人及以上的学校还可能被要求公开性别薪酬差距数据。
8. SEND, Equality and Accessibility | 特殊教育需求、平等与无障碍
Schools must publish a special educational needs information report explaining how pupils with SEND are identified, supported and reviewed, and how the school contributes to the local offer.
学校必须公开特殊教育需求信息报告，说明如何识别、支持与复审有特殊教育需求的学生，以及学校如何配合地方的”本地服务清单”（local offer）。
Under the public sector equality duty, schools should publish equality objectives and explain how they are meeting them. Accessibility plans covering the physical environment, curriculum access and information provision are also expected.
根据公共部门平等义务，学校应公开平等目标并说明达成情况。同时通常要求公布无障碍计划，涵盖物理环境、课程参与与信息获取三个方面。
For international families, this section is a useful test of candour: strong schools describe what they cannot yet provide as well as what they can.
对国际家庭来说，这一节最能检验学校是否坦诚：优秀的学校既说明能做到什么，也说明目前还做不到什么。
9. Boarding, Pastoral Care and Health | 寄宿、教牧关怀与健康
Boarding schools must publish information about accommodation, supervision ratios, house structure, weekend activities, and the rules governing exeats and leave.
寄宿学校必须公开住宿安排、监管配比、舍堂结构、周末活动，以及离校与外出许可的规则。
Medical arrangements should be stated: whether there is a school doctor or nurse, how medication is administered and recorded, what happens in an emergency, and how mental health support is delivered.
医疗安排也应说明：是否配备校医或护士、用药如何管理等记录、紧急情况如何处理，以及心理健康支持如何提供。
Guardianship requirements matter for international pupils. A compliant website explains whether a UK-based guardian is compulsory, what the guardian’s responsibilities are, and how guardianship agencies are vetted.
监护要求对国际学生尤为重要。合规官网会说明是否强制要求英国本地监护人、监护人的职责范围，以及监护机构如何接受审核。
10. Complaints, Escalation and Whistleblowing | 投诉、升级与举报
A complaints procedure must be published with clear stages, named roles and timescales. Vague wording such as “contact the school office” does not meet the standard.
投诉程序必须公开，包含明确阶段、责任人角色与时限。像”请联系学校办公室”这样的含糊表述不达标。
The procedure should explain how to escalate a complaint beyond the school – to the governing body or proprietor, and then to the relevant external body. For independent schools this usually means the Department for Education, and for state schools, the relevant ombudsman or the Secretary of State.
程序应说明如何将投诉升级至学校之外——先到校董会或举办者，再到相关外部机构。对私立学校而言，通常是教育部；对公立学校而言，通常是相关申诉专员或教育大臣。
Schools should also publish a whistleblowing policy or a statement of how staff can raise concerns about safeguarding practice confidentially.
学校还应公开举报政策，或说明教职员工如何以保密方式就安全保护工作提出问题。
11. Data Protection, Privacy and Online Information | 数据保护、隐私与线上信息
Under UK data protection law, schools must provide a privacy notice explaining what personal data they collect, why, how long it is kept, and who it is shared with. Separate notices are often needed for pupils, parents and staff.
根据英国数据保护法，学校必须提供隐私声明，说明收集哪些个人数据、为何收集、保存多久、与谁共享。面向学生、家长与教职员工往往需要分别发布。
Websites should also cover subject access requests, photograph and video consent, CCTV use, biometric systems such as fingerprint cashless catering, and the use of third-party education technology platforms.
官网还应涵盖数据主体访问请求、照片与视频同意、闭路电视使用、指纹刷卡等生物识别系统，以及第三方教育科技平台的使用。
Public sector schools in England are also subject to website accessibility regulations, which require an accessibility statement describing how the site meets published standards.
英格兰的公共部门学校还受网站无障碍法规约束，需提供无障碍声明，说明网站如何符合已公布的标准。
12. How to Audit a School Website: Practical Checklist | 如何审查学校官网：实操清单
When comparing schools, work through the same list for each one and note what is missing. Absence of information is itself data about the school.
比较学校时，用同一份清单逐项核对，并记录缺失项。信息的缺失本身就是关于这所学校的信息。
| Check | 核对项 | Red flag |
| Safeguarding policy dated this academic year | 安全保护政策是否为本学年 | Undated or older than 12 months |
| Named DSL and SENCo | 是否列出 DSL 与 SENCo 姓名 | No named person, only a department |
| Exam results by subject and year | 是否按学科与年份公布成绩 | Only headline percentages, no cohort size |
| Full fee schedule and refund terms | 是否公布完整费用表与退费条款 | “Contact us for fees” |
| Complaints procedure with timescales | 投诉程序是否含时限 | No external escalation route |
| Latest inspection report linked | 是否链接最新检查报告 | Old report only, or none at all |
| Privacy notice and data retention | 是否有隐私声明与数据保存期 | No privacy notice anywhere on site |
Finally, check that information is current. A website that still lists last year’s term dates, an outdated head teacher, or a fee table marked “2022/23” tells you something about internal administration.
最后要核对信息是否为最新。如果官网仍列着上一学年的校历、已离任的校长，或标注”2022/23″的学费表，这本身就反映了学校内部管理的状况。
A school that publishes thoroughly and updates regularly is usually a school that runs on systems rather than on improvisation. For families making a long-term, high-cost decision, that difference matters more than any prospectus photograph.
一所公开信息全面、更新及时的学校，通常也是靠制度而非靠临时应付运转的学校。对于要做长期、高投入决策的家庭来说，这一差别比任何宣传册照片都更重要。
