The Joint Local Board governing Christian Malford School and two other local schools have gone through a systematic review of policies to ensure that the school complies with its statutory obligations and that the policies reflect the school’s conversion to an Academy in December 2013 and its membership of the multi-academy trust (DBAT).
Many of these policies are provided centrally by DBAT; others are produced locally. The local policies are subject to a programme of regular review and have been brought together across the three schools where it was appropriate to do so.
A comprehensive set of policies is available to view by following the links below.
