For Schools

The new handbooks for September 2024 were published at the beginning of September as the September 2024, v3.0 editions. These contained significant updates from the previous editions. These changes are recorded in the change log for v3.0 below. In addition a further v3.1 edition of all handbooks was issued, but the only change was to the definition of safeguarding in the safeguarding policy, following the update of these definitions in Keeping children safe in education. Please make sure you look through both change logs for September to understand what has changed since 2023-2024. The .zip file below allows you to download all 4 handbooks (and the comparative grade descriptors) as pdfs at once for the September 2024, v3.1 editions.
