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. Paper copies are available on request by emailing: reception@flanshawjin.co.uk.

 

Anti-bullying Policy

The aim of the anti-bullying policy is to ensure that pupils learn in a supportive, caring and safe environment without fear of being bullied. Bullying is anti-social behaviour and affects everyone; it is unacceptable and will not be tolerated. Only when all issues of bullying are addressed will pupils be able to fully benefit from the opportunities available at schools.

School Admissions to Full-Time School

Please refer to our admissions page on the website.

Attendance Policy

For our children to gain the greatest benefit from their education it is vital that they attend regularly and your child should be at school, on time, every day unless the reason for the absence is unavoidable. It is very important therefore that you make sure that your child attends regularly and this Policy sets out how together we will achieve this. Please see our separate Attendance page for more information.

Positive Handling Policy

Staff at this school are trained to look after the pupils in their care. Staff have a duty to intervene in order to prevent pupils from hurting themselves or others. There may also be situations in which a child seriously disrupts good order in the school or causes damage to property. If a member of staff ever needs to intervene physically, as a last resort, they will follow the school’s Positive Handling Policy.

Single Equalities Policy and Differences Charter 

Please view the policy below to see how we comply with our duties and under the Equality Act 2010 and the Equality Act 2010 (Specific Duties and Public Authorities) Regulations 2017.

 

Our Differences Charter is displayed in every classroom and in central locations. These values are revisited within our weekly PSHE lessons and our daily assemblies. 

 

Flanshaw School Council representatives are the voice of our pupils and this is led by our JLT Head of Pupil Voice. As part of their meetings, they ensure that we promote equality and eliminate discrimination. Our PTA represents our parent community. They meet frequently to plan and implement fundraising activities. As part of this, they consider all aspects of our diverse community. Our Governing Body are a diverse mix of our Wakefield community. They meet every half term. Within the agenda, dialogue occurs around equality for all.
