Policies

Our school is part of the Ironstone Academy Trust. As such, our policies can be either a school level policy, or a Trust policy which ensures consistency across our family of schools. Below, are the key policies which we work to as a school – however schools and Trusts have hundreds of policies in place in order to run well – too many to include here. 

Please do not hesitate to contact us with regard to any specific request or query, including a request for a paper copy of a policy, or to find out about a policy which is not included here, or on our Trust site – we will be glad to assist.

Complaints

Whilst we work very hard to ensure our school is providing the best education possible for our families, we know that from time to time parents and carers may disagree with certain aspects of school life.

Our complaints procedures are agreed at Trust level, and are consistent across all off the schools however, the policy is rooted in school level contact and support at the earliest stages of a complaint or concern. The aim of this policy is to ensure that when a concern or complaint is made, this is managed sympathetically, efficiently and at the appropriate level with aim of a reaching a resolution as soon as possible.

In our experience, most concerns can be resolved informally. As such, parents and carers should raise the concern initially with the class teacher or senior leader. Where this does not result in an agreed and amicable resolution, we will be happy to provide advice and guidance on taking this matter further.

Our full complaints policy can be found under the Ironstone Policies list above or by clicking here.
