Our Attendance Guidelines and Procedures outline our expectations (inline with DfE and LA statutory guidance) and the responsibilities and actions the school and families hold.

The Behaviour Policy outlines the expectations for behaviour at school and the responsibilities and procedures which will be followed.

Details of school charges (in line with DfE statutory guidance) and the support available for families can be found within the Charging and Remissions Policy.

Clifton Green Primary School is committed to safeguarding and child protection (in line with legislation and DfE statutory guidance) and our approach to managing safeguarding concerns and ensuring that the wellbeing of pupils is set out in the Child Protection and Safeguarding Policy.

The Equality Information and Objectives outlines the range of actions in place to eliminate prejudice, unlawful discrimination and victimisation within the school community and workforce.
