Policies

It is important that our parents, staff, students and governors all know what is expected of them to ensure that it is an effective, safe and friendly learning environment.

As an academy sponsored by the David Ross Education Trust, we are governed by the Trust's statutory policies which can be found below. 

As a school serving our local community, it is also important that we have our own policies that meet the specific needs of our students and parents. These can also be accessed below.  Paper copies of all our policies are available upon request along with a copy of our website.
