Clearer school website compliance
Run an Air Audit on your school or trust website and get a clear Air Report showing what is found, missing, outdated, or needs review.
Every finding is independently double-checked, and every Confirmed item links straight to the page or PDF on your own site where we found it — so you can open the source and check it yourself.
No subscription. Each Air Audit uses one credit — a failed audit is automatically refunded.

Checked against
DfE ‘what academies must publish online’ · Academy Trust Handbook 2025 · KCSIE · the Equality Act 2010 · Gender Pay Gap regulations · Companies House requirements
Your website is a statutory document.
The DfE and the Academy Trust Handbook require academies and trusts to publish a long list of information online — governance and financial transparency, policies, admissions, SEND, equality objectives and more. Miss something and you risk ESFA and Ofsted scrutiny, complaints, and reputational damage.
Checking it by hand means trawling dozens of pages and PDFs against guidance that changes — and it’s easy to assume something is published when it isn’t, or to treat a ‘should’ as a ‘must’.
What you stop worrying about
- “Did we ever actually publish that policy — and is it the current version?”
- “Which of these is a legal must-publish vs a recommendation?”
- “What changed in the latest Academy Trust Handbook?”
- “Can I prove what was on the site at the time, if challenged?”
How it works
From a URL to an audit-defensible Air Report in a few minutes.
- 1
Enter your website
Paste your school or trust URL and tell us whether it's a trust or an individual academy site. One credit covers the audit.
- 2
We crawl and gather evidence
We read every page and linked policy document on your site — exactly what a visitor (or an inspector) would see — and keep a dated record of what was published.
- 3
We assess against the statutory catalogue
Every page is checked against a versioned catalogue of ~58 statutory and recommended publication requirements. Each result is independently double-checked and must cite the evidence behind it; anything we can’t confirm is held for human review rather than guessed.

You get your Air Report
An Air Score (mandatory-evidence coverage), prioritised actions with the source authority for each, and an audit-defensible record you can act on and share. Every Confirmed finding links straight to the exact page or PDF on your own site — in the report and the downloadable PDF’s evidence ledger — so you can check any line yourself.
Checked twice, linked to the source
Now standard on every audit: each finding is independently double-checked, and every Confirmed finding links straight to the page or document on your own site where we found it.
A second opinion on every line
Each finding is judged independently, then double-checked a second time before it’s recorded. Where both checks agree, the result stands; where they differ, the finding is held for human review rather than guessed.
Open the source and check it yourself
Every Confirmed finding links straight to the exact page or PDF on your own site where we found the evidence — favicon, title and all — so for anything we confirm, you’re never asked to take our word for it. The same source links carry through to the evidence ledger in your downloadable PDF.
Why trust the result
Most checklists tell you what to look for. We show you what we found, where, and how sure we are.
Evidence-led, never guesswork
Every ‘Confirmed’ links to the exact document or page we found. Nothing is marked present unless we can show you where.
Audit-defensible by design
Versioned rules traceable to DfE guidance and the Academy Trust Handbook, plus a dated record of the exact evidence we found — so a report stands up to scrutiny months later.
Honest about uncertainty
Where a website can't prove a point (e.g. a safeguarding route), we say ‘Confirmation required’ — never a false fail. We never declare a school simply ‘compliant’.
Minutes, not days
Replaces a tedious manual trawl through dozens of pages and PDFs with an automated audit that finishes while you make a coffee.
Built for multi-academy trusts
Audit the trust site and every academy with the same versioned ruleset, so governance can see the whole estate at a glance.
Knows should vs must
Correctly distinguishes academy ‘should publish’ from maintained-school ‘must publish’, and handles conditionals (pupil premium, PE & sport, 250+ employees) properly.
What we check
~58 statutory and recommended publication requirements across the areas the DfE and the Academy Trust Handbook care about:
- Governance & trust transparency
- Financial information & funding agreements
- Register of interests & scheme of delegation
- Gender pay gap & executive pay
- Admissions & complaints procedures
- SEND & accessibility
- Privacy & data protection
- Policies (behaviour, charging, whistleblowing…)
- Equality objectives
- Provider access (careers)
- Companies House disclosures
- Ofsted & performance information

Run your first Air AuditSix honest finding statuses
Every status carries an icon, a label and a colour — never colour alone — so the meaning is unambiguous and accessible. Crucially, “Confirmation required” is held separately and is never counted as a fail.
- ConfirmedRequired evidence located on the site and current.
- Action requiredAn applicable must-publish item was not located.
- Review requiredEvidence found but ambiguous or possibly out of date.
- Confirmation requiredPublication route can't be judged from the website — never an automatic fail.
- Recommended improvementA recommended (non-statutory) improvement.
- Not applicableThe requirement doesn't apply to this organisation.
Simple, per-audit pricing
No subscription. Buy credits, spend one per audit, re-run whenever your site changes.
Prices exclude VAT where applicable.
What this is — and isn’t
We provide website publication assurance: we report evidence found, evidence not located, items needing confirmation, and recommended actions, against a versioned rule catalogue traceable to DfE guidance and the Academy Trust Handbook. We are not a legal certification, and we don’t claim a school would “pass” an inspection. The judgement of compliance remains yours — we make it fast, evidenced and defensible.
