Decision-making

Regional Department for Education (DfE) Directors are committed to being transparent and accountable in making school decisions.

Every month we:

  • publish advance notification of the decisions to be taken
  • allow the public 5 working days to make representations – all representations received will be considered before a decision is made
  • publish the decisions made

Details on how to complain about a regional director’s decision are available.

Conflicts of interest

Information on the definition and management of conflicts of interest for DfE regional directors is available separately.

School decisions

Decisions to be taken and decisions made for the 9 regional director regions. For information about decisions taken before 1 April 2026, refer to the advisory boards page.
