The Governing Body is responsible for keeping the school's policies up to date. There are a great number of these concerning teaching and learning, safeguarding and staffing as well as the physical aspects of the school and it's finances. Those most pertinent to parents have been identified and can be found on the school website. If you have any concerns that are not covered by these policies, please contact the school.
