Reads inside every PDF and page
We don't just check a link works. We read your admissions documents to check the Published Admission Number (PAN), oversubscription criteria and tie-break rules are clearly stated.

We do the checking
How it works
Basically, we scan your website and tell you where your gaps are.
We'll prepare your first report after you verify your work email. This isn't an instant scan. For repeat checks and annual licences, we'll arrange access with you.

Point us at your site
Choose your school below. We use its website address. No install, no plugin, nothing to add to your site.

We scan site + policies
We crawl your public pages and policy documents and check them against every DfE statutory requirement.

Fix and re-run any time
Update your site, re-run the check, and watch the gaps close. Your licence runs all year.
What We Check
We read the small print, not just the page title.
Uploading a file called Complaints Policy.pdf won't pass an inspection if a required clause is missing inside. We open every document on your website and check the content against current legislation.
It's not just about inspections. Help parents find clear, up-to-date information, and give your team a faster way to spot gaps and get them fixed.
Checked against the actual law
We check requirements against DfE website guidance and the relevant legislation and codes, including the School Admissions Code, Equality Act 2010 and SEND Regulations 2014.
Spots missing clauses in long policies
A 10-page academy complaints policy can still miss the requirement for an independent panel member. We pinpoint the missing clause so your team knows what to review.
Checks review dates & academic years
We check annual equality information updates, the year covered by your Pupil Premium statement, and whether required DfE templates are being used.
Separates MUST from SHOULD
Findings distinguish statutory MUSTs from recommended SHOULDs, with quotes from your website and links to the relevant guidance. See what needs fixing and what could be better.
Fits your school phase & type
A primary school shouldn't be flagged for missing GCSE results or sixth-form admissions. Your report focuses on the requirements that apply to your school and provision.

Inside your report
Illustrative only. Not a real school's report. These examples show how findings are presented, not a compliance score.
| Area / requirement | Verdict | Findings & quoted evidence |
|---|---|---|
PE and sport premiumYear 6 pupils who can swim 25 metres MUST | Met | The swimming figure is published in the statement for the relevant year. "Percentage of Year 6 pupils who can swim competently, confidently and proficiently over at least 25 metres: 60%."PE and Sport Premium Statement.pdfDfE PE and sport premium guidance |
Academy complaints policyAt least one panel member is independent of school management MUST | Not met | The policy describes a panel, but does not state that at least one member must be independent of the management and running of the school. "Stage 4: a panel of three trustees who have not previously been involved in the complaint."Complaints Policy.pdfIndependent School Standards, paragraph 33(g) |
Public sector equality dutyCompliance information is updated annually MUST | Review needed | The published information refers to an earlier year. Check for a newer annual update, separate from the four-year cycle for equality objectives.

Start with one schoolIs the first report really free?
Yes. Your first report for one school is free. We don't ask for payment details and requesting it does not sign you up to a paid subscription. Speak to us about further audits or a trust-wide review.
Do I need an IT team or website changes?
No software installation is needed. We review the public pages and documents on your website. If your website blocks automated access, your website provider may need to help allow the scan. Contact us for the access details.
Which guidance do you check against?
Requirements differ by school type and provision. We use the relevant DfE publication guidance and linked legislation, distinguishing statutory requirements from recommendations.
The linked guidance pages show their current publication and update dates. The examples on this page are illustrative, not a live ruleset or a certification.
Is this an instant scan?
Not at this stage. Submit your details, verify your work email and set a password. You'll then have access to a report area showing that your report is being prepared. For an update, email hello@schoolgpt.com.
Does a clear report guarantee compliance?
No. Automated checks can miss information or flag something that needs a human review. Findings help your team review the published evidence; they are guidance, not legal advice, an Ofsted judgement or a guarantee of compliance.
Less checking. More clarity.
