It covers the main changes to KCSIE for 2026/27. By the end, your staff will be able to:

  • Identify the major changes introduced in the KCSIE 2026 guidance
  • Explain how the changes impact your daily school routines
  • Apply the guidance to realistic school scenarios

Your staff must pass the final assessment, so you can track completion and be confident in your team’s knowledge.

As always, we’ve applied the best of adult-learning design to bring you training that engages as well as instructs, so you can be sure your staff take in the information they need – and, crucially, apply it in real-world situations.
