Robin autonomously reviews individual school websites against the DfE requirements, audits policies and highlights outdated or missing information in minutes. It will also provide MATs with trust-wide overviews, ensuring consistency across all academies and allowing central teams to focus on solutions rather than searches.

Robin bases its website compliance checks on the requirements set out in 'what maintained schools must publish' and 'what academies must publish, the check is based on the following DfE guidance pages:

The DfE requirements are matched to each school based on the school type, age range and provision so Robin works for all types of schools, including special schools, all-through schools and sixth forms.

Robin will list which policies are required, what's published on a school's website (both in and out of date) and shows which are missing. It provides a link to the policy with its location(s) on the website, last and next review dates and supporting information, such as information on the validity of the policy and any errors or typos in the information, so you don’t need to open the policy at all.

If a school website links to the Trust website to point to a required policy (or another website requirement) Robin follows that link and checks it. You'll see a blue Trust website button listed as the source, and clicking on it will take you through to the webpage.

No, Robin is separate part of The Key Group, alongside The Key, GovernorHub and Arbor. It was however set up by James Sharpe, one of GovernorHub's founder members so you can rest assured it intends to save leaders as much time and heartache as GovernorHub does for you! Subscriptions to Robin are independent of the other products, so you purchase separately.

Robin has two options to choose from. They offer yearly subscriptions with either half-termly (6 reviews) or monthly (12 reviews) checks. Check out their pricing. The pricing is the same regardless of school type.

You or your school leaders can instant message Robin on their website www.robin.education, email (hello@robin.education) or call (0333 038 3023). They are a friendly bunch, many of whom come from our very own GovernorHub team so don't forget to tell them who sent you!!

Stop your leaders and central teams having to trawl through websites and policies. Put Robin to work instead and get a full website compliance check and a policy audit on us!
