Why we built it
Official guidance is spread across many websites, published as long PDFs, and often superseded without the old version disappearing. Schools spend a lot of time finding the current document and turning it into something they can use. This library puts the documents in one place, says plainly what each one is for, and adds working templates that do the turning-into-practice step, with the evidence attached.
Keeping it current
Each template shows the date iFairy last checked it against the official documents, and lists the documents it relies on. Official guidance changes; if a template or summary is out of date, please tell us and we will correct it. To report a problem, email support@ifairy.co.uk.
Licensing
Contains public sector information licensed under the Open Government Licence v3.0. Exam-board specifications, past papers and mark schemes remain the copyright of their exam boards and are only linked.
