We have a range of policies that help keep our school safe, fair and well-organised. Some policies are school-specific, while others are set at Trust level. If you’re looking for something you can’t find, please contact the school office and we’ll be happy to help.
Child Protection and Safeguarding Policy
Keeping children safe is our highest priority. This policy explains how we safeguard and protect all pupils.

Early Years Foundation Policy
“Every child deserves the best possible start in life and the support that enables them to fulfil their potential. Children develop quickly in the early years and a child’s experiences between birth and age five have a major impact on their future life chances. A secure, safe and happy childhood is important in its own right. Good parenting and high quality early learning together provide the foundation children need to make the most of their abilities and talents as they grow up.” EYFS Statutory framework 2021
Our EYFS Policy fully embraces this.
