Policies
The Willows Academy Trust policies and procedures that apply to all our schools are available below. Policies and procedures that are individual to each school can be accessed through school websites.
In addition to our normal policies and procedures we have put in place policies and procedures relating specifically to the COVID-19 pandemic. Those that apply to the public (our parents, visitors and the local community) are published below.
Our schools have each set their own REMOTE LEARNING POLICY and provision for Remote Learning to suit their circumstances. Please see each school's website for further details.
Please contact us if you want to see a particular policy and you can't find it here or on the relevant school website.
