School policies cover every aspect of school life. Below are some of our most important policies for your reference. If you want to know our policy on something that is not listed, please ask the school office.

Safeguarding Policy 2020-21

This policy sets out the school's e-Safety Core policy. E-Safety encompasses Internet technologies and electronic communications such as mobile phones as well as collaboration tools and personal publishing. It highlights the need to educate pupils about the benefits and risks of using technology and provides safeguards and awareness for users to enable them to control their online experience.

Concerns and Complaints Policy

This policy sets out the school’s procedure for addressing complaints. It should be used only when informal attempts to resolve concerns have been unsuccessful. If you have any concerns about the school or the education provided, you are encouraged to discuss the matter first with your child’s class teacher.

Behaviour Policy

Our school behaviour policy is designed to develop and maintain positive attitudes among all members of our school community. We aim to highlight and reward good behaviour in a range of ways, and provide a consistent and fair approach to tackling inappropriate behaviour. 

Admissions Policy

Capel-le-Ferne Primary School follows the local authority scheme for admission to our primary school. In the event of their being more applicants for places at our school than there are spaces available, the following criteria are used to rank the applicants.

Calculations Policy

Here you will find our updated Calculation policy 2013.  It shows the progression of addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, from the Early Learning Goals ( Reception) right up to Level 5 (Year 6 and beyond).

SEN Policy

At Capel-le-Ferne we are proud to provide a safe, stimulating and inclusive learning environment where every member of our community is valued and respected. This policy outlines our aims, principles and strategies that ensure effective and efficient provision for children with Special Educational Needs in our school. 

School's Charging and Remissions Policy

Parents are still removing their children from school during term time, sometimes for extended periods, and sometimes with very little or no notice. While we understand the reasons for this, we would like to remind parents that schools cannot authorise leave of absence in term time, and we are now having to start the process of applying to the local authority for fixed penalty charges to be levied against parents who decide to take their children out of school.
