Policies

Policy development in a new school is a wonderful opportunity to ensure that what we create to support and safeguard our school community is underpinned by the values and vision that we espouse for our young people and our whole-school community.

All policies are informed by our vision and values as an Educate Together and restorative school.

Below are some helpful documents and information:
