Every local-authority-maintained school must publish specific information on its website to comply with The School Information (England) (Amendment) Regulations 2016.
The list below is from the most recent update of What maintained schools must publish online (dated 16 June 2017 at the time of publication) the majority of which is taken from the above regulation.

Your school’s website must include the following:
Admission arrangements

- You must also publish any arrangements for handling complaints from parents of children with special educational needs (SEN) about the support the school provides.
Pupil premium
You must publish a strategy for the school’s use of the pupil premium.
For the current academic year, you must include:

- the date of the next review of the school’s pupil premium strategy
For the previous academic year, you must include:
- how you spent the pupil premium allocation
- the effect of the expenditure on eligible and other pupils
Pupil premium funding is allocated for each financial year, but the information you publish online should refer to the academic year, as this is how parents understand the school system.
As you won’t know allocations for the end of the academic year (April to July), you should report on the funding up to the end of the financial year and update it when you have all the figures.
PE and sport premium for primary schools
If your school receives PE (physical education) and sport premium funding, you must publish:
- how much funding you received
- a full breakdown of how you’ve spent the funding or will spend the funding

- how you’ll make sure these improvements are sustainable

- the steps you have taken to prevent disabled pupils from being treated less favourably than other pupils
- the facilities you provide to help disabled pupils to access the school
- the accessibility plan you have prepared in compliance with paragraph 3 of schedule 10 to the Equality Act 2010.
- regulation 51 and schedule 1 of the Special Educational Needs and Disability Regulations 2014
