School Policy Documents
Below you can view key policies, set by the governing body and followed within the school. These are updated regularly, either as part of a rolling programme, or to reflect latest guidance from relevant bodies.
The Governing Body of Fir Ends School aims to adopt the latest version of a number of Local Authority Model Policies. Where any of these policies need to be enacted, the latest version will be verified. Where an update has taken place within the review timeframe of a given policy, the newer version will be ratified at the earliest opportunity and will be implemented.
The school also subscribes to policy advice and updates from Kym Allan Health and Safety Consultants and adopts model policies as updates are made to these, making contextual changes as appropriate. Policies sourced from here include the Child Protection and Equality& Accessibility policies.
Other model policies are also sourced directly from the Local Authority (e.g staff disciplinary) or from other sources.
Where a model policy is not available or relevant to our context, it is written specifically for the school, reflecting its unique features.
This page is updated periodically and newer versions of policies listed here may be in use.
