College Policies

In this section

Each ESF school is responsible for writing and regularly reviewing its own set of policies covering all aspects of the school’s life, routines, and procedures.

Policies are informative, working documents that aim to establish excellence in procedures and practice and which educate and empower those that work within the organisation.

On each policy document, the date of the most recent review and the date of the next scheduled review will be recorded so that no policy becomes out of date.

For all policies relating to safeguarding and child protection, please see our safeguarding page
