Policy

We carefully review existing policies to check that they are up to date, compliant with current legislation, and reflective of best practice. We do more than just check for compliance — we ensure that policies are written in a clear, practical way that can be easily understood and applied by staff, pupils, and parents. At Huie Consulting our goal is to take the jargon out of policy documents and make them genuinely useful working tools for the whole school community.

When policies need updating, we amend them so that they meet both statutory requirements and the unique context of the school. We know that every school is different, and a one-size-fits-all approach does not always work. That is why we take time to understand the school’s ethos, its priorities, and the needs of its pupils before making recommendations. By doing this, we help governing boards adopt policies that not only meet legal standards but also support the wider vision and culture of the school.

In addition to reviewing and amending, Huie Consulting also provides clear advice to governors about their role in approving and monitoring policies. Many boards struggle with knowing which policies are statutory, how often they need to be reviewed, and what their role should be in the process. We provide straightforward guidance and tools that remove the uncertainty and give governors confidence in their decision-making.

Our wider support goes beyond policies. By working with us, governors can expect professional guidance that saves time, reduces stress, and strengthens governance practice. We aim to lighten the workload for governing boards while ensuring that schools remain compliant, effective, and focused on what matters most — delivering the best outcomes for pupils.
