Governing bodies must publish a school prospectus for parents and prospective parents. Since 1 September 2005 the compulsory content of the prospectus has been simplified. This means greater freedom for schools in deciding what information is best provided to parents in their prospectuses and in responding to the requests of parents for particular pieces of information. The only obligatory content in the prospectus is now the information about the SEN and disability work of the school that was previously required in the Governors’ Annual Report. This ensures parents continue to have easy access to this information. The school prospectus must be published during the school year immediately proceeding the admission school year.
