Policies
Policies cover every aspect of our school life.
We have policies which are delegated from the multi-academy trust as well as our own school policies. Please see the Shardlow Primary School policies listed below and the link to the ONE Academy Trust Website for trust wide policies.
If there are any policies which you can't see here but you would like access to, or you would like a printed copy of a policy, please contact the school office. Please also let us know if you need a copy of a policy in another format and we will try to meet your needs.
If you need anything explained in one of our policies, please contact the school office and we will be happy to help.
Please note: Shardlow Primary School used to be part of the Willows Multi-Academy Trust and is now part of ONE Academy Trust. There may be some legacy references to Willows Academy Trust in some documents. Please bear with us as we make the necessary changes.
