School Policies

The School has a large number of policies and key documents that underpin its work.

The Christian ethos and inclusivity of the school are strongly reflected in the policies and provide the foundation of our work at St Mary’s. Some of these policies are required by law while others are designed to support the safe and effective work of the learning community.

The School is committed to the safeguarding of children and as such excellent standards of safeguarding practice are embedded in our work.

Policies and key documents are regularly reviewed and their implementation and impact monitored. All stakeholders, including students, parents/carers and governors, are involved in the construction and review of policies. The School welcomes feedback about policies and documents or any aspect of our work.

Anyone who requires support in accessing the documents or the information contained within, should contact the Clerk to the Governors at clerk@st-marys.herts.sch.uk. Hard copies of school policies can be requested from the school via the Clerk to the Governors. Please note that there may be a small charge for copying of policies.
