This policy will give clear direction to all stakeholders about expectations and our legal and moral responsibility to safeguard and promote the welfare of all children at our school.

This Code of Conduct should be read in conjunction with the Trust’s Disciplinary Policy.

The Policy and Procedures for the Handling of Complaints

This Equal Opportunities Policy applies to all aspects of the Trust’s relationship with staff and to relations between staff members at all levels.

This policy meets the requirements of the General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”), the Data Protection Act 2018, and is based on guidance published by the Information Commissioner’s Office and model privacy notices published by the Department for Education.

The Trust’s IT and communications systems are intended to promote effective communication and working practices within the Trust. This policy outlines the standards staff must observe when using these systems, the circumstances in which the Trust will monitor their use, and the action the Trust will take in respect of breaches of these standards.

Mobile communication devices are now a feature of modern society and many of our pupils own one. Increasing sophistication of mobile technology presents a number of issues for schools. At school, we have a duty of care to take steps to ensure that your child is safe. We take this duty very seriously.

This policy applies to all members of the Bay Learning Trust (including staff, students/pupils, volunteers, parents/carers, visitors, Directors, Governors and community users) who have access to and are users of our ICT systems, both in and out of the academy.

We believe that educating children is a process that involves partnership between parents/carers, class teachers and the community. We have always worked very hard to establish good communication with parents and believe that our success is due in no small part to the strong relationships we enjoy with our parents and carers.

Students study Sex and Relationship education throughout their time at Central, focussing on covering in a manner appropriate to their age and development.

During a period in which we may see an increase in student absence and potential school closures, it’s important that we are providing an education to those students who are accessing their education from home.

The Bay Learning Trust (“the Trust”) is committed to conducting itself with honesty and integrity, and it expects all staff to maintain high standards.

A culture of openness and accountability is essential in order to prevent such situations occurring or to address them when they do occur.
