Policies

Following a change of Principal on 1st September 2023, individual policy documents will be updated, as soon as possible, to reflect any changes of name for the Principal, if/where required.  References to Mrs. Wilson should now be considered to apply to Mrs. Morris. Thank you for your understanding and patience in this regard.

PLEASE ALSO NOTE that our email address changed on 1st September 2023 but some of our policies may still make reference to [email protected], which is no longer in use; to email the Academy please use [email protected] 

If you require a printed copy of any of our policies, or information from our website, please email your request to the Academy and we will be pleased to assist.
