Trust and School Policies
Policy documents
Vale Academy Trust (VAT) merged with Cambrian Learning Trust (CLT) on 1st February 2025. We wish to inform all stakeholders that we are in the process of re-branding all policies to reflect the situation and this piece of work will be completed shortly. These policies remain fully operational.
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, or paper copies of any documents please ask the school office. For details of our use of the Pupil Premium Grant and Sports Premium Funding can be found within the designated area of our website.
Policies address the practical implications of how to achieve the school's vision and are a key means of ensuring that agreed values underpin day-to-day decisions and actions in our school. They are concerned with key processes within school and are about interactions between school, pupils, parents and community. They are about ensuring highly effective teaching and learning, about safety and about basic human rights.
All policies at Charlton are intended to guide the work of the leadership team and the staff to provide a framework for the smooth functioning of our school based in a shared understanding of the school's strategic plan and vision. Some policies are Trust based and some are more school specific.
