Policies

Below you'll find all the policies relating to the way we approach and do things at Staverton.

It's very important to our school that our policies and practices are rooted in our school vision. Our vision is based on the parable of the mustard seed. We want children to understand that the school represents the tree – a safe home for pupils, represented by the birds, who come and nest within it during their time at Staverton, growing and flourishing until they're ready to fly high.

This inclusive, accepting vision shows through the way adults interact with and welcome children in school, creating an atmosphere where everyone is welcome, valued, and respected as a member of Staverton School.

Find out more about our vision on our Vision, Values and Ethos page.

Please note that all Safeguarding policies and our Anti-Bullying policy can be found on our Safeguarding at Staverton page. Our SEND policy and SEND Information Report can be found on our SEND page.
