KCSIE 2026 has been published, with the new statutory guidance coming into force on 1 September 2026.

From all staff reading Part One in full to updates on mobile phones, online harm, safeguarding records and volunteer checks, there is plenty for schools and education professionals to be aware of.

Our latest guide highlights 10 key changes, including:
• Part One reading expectations for all staff
• Mobile phone-free guidance
• Online harm, deepfakes and sextortion
• Misogyny and escalation risks
• Mental health warning signs
• Gender-questioning children
• Volunteer checks

It also flags wider updates around Operation Encompass, filtering and monitoring, cyber security and child protection files.

Our last day of training today began with a whole staff worship St John the Divine Church Cliviger with Rev Sohail. A wonderful service to pray for the year ahead and to have holy communion together. Kiwi and Spot have enjoyed their summer holiday but are glad to be back at school and eagerly awaiting our children returning tomorrow. Teachers enjoyed their training with Lisa on the new RE scheme for Blackburn Diocese and Lisa was very happy with her gift which has been kindly knitted by Mrs Marshall.

All we need are our classrooms to be full with our children now.

Can’t wait!
