School Policies at Sandhill Primary
The Every Child Matters Academy Trust has established policies, procedures and practice that are shared across the Trust. These policies strengthen our school to school relationships, build on good practice and support our work as a collaborative group. As a Trust we recognise that schools are unique and diverse in nature therefore, in addition to Trust policy, our schools have the freedom to develop policies, procedures and practice to best facilitate outstanding education in our establishments.
Here are only some of the school policies we use at Sandhill. If you desire a paper copy of any of these or any further policies, please ask at the school office.
