Policies
School policies are reviewed by the Governing Body according to the School’s Long Term Plan.
Some policies are based on Lancashire Local Authority guidance and updates and information produced by the Department for Education. The Governors operate a clear plan on when policies will be checked and updated but when the need arises, policies can be updated at any time. We will endeavour to ensure that all policies posted on the website will be the most up to date versions.
Please be aware that some policies may not yet have been updated from Local Authority advice, but the school will always use the current Local Authority policy and advice as shown on the School’s Portal.

There are two Governing Body committees, besides the Full Governing Body Committee, who may review policies on behalf of the FGB. These are the Curriculum and Standards Committee and the Finance and Resources Committee (who also look at Staffing and Health & Safety). The school adheres to all Local Authority policies which can be found on the Lancashire Schools’ Portal.
