School policies cover every aspect of school life!  Below are some of our most important policies for your information. Please feel free to ask the relevant member of staff any questions about these policies.

Every school is required to set out its own local offer related to pupils with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND), explaining what our school can offer SEND pupils. This can be found on this page. There is also a link to Solihull Council's Local Offer for pupils with SEND requirements.

Equality 

Fordbridge Community Primary School is proud to be a fully inclusive school where everyone is welcome and encouraged to be the best they can be. We are committed to promoting equality and diversity for all our pupils, parents and staff. We make sure that we consider equality and the possible implications for all pupils and especially those with protected characteristics.

We expect all members of our community and everyone who enters our school to behave in a way which respects the protected characteristics of the Equality Act 2010.

Fordbridge  School is committed to ensuring equality of provision throughout the school community. To achieve this, our equality objectives (2022-2025) are as follows:

Objective 1: To ensure that the school promotes role models that young people positively identify with, who reflect and broaden the school’s diversity in terms of race, gender and other protected characteristics.

Objective 2: To raise equality awareness with pupils and staff, ensuring tolerance and respect towards individuals who identify with any of the protected characteristics.

Objective 3:To train all members of staff and govenors that are involved in recruitment and selection,  on equal opportunities and non-discrimination

Complaints Procedure

From time to time, children, parents and others connected with the academy, will become aware of matters which will cause them concern. To ensure that all of these matters are resolved in an effective manner the Trust has adopted a complaints procedure.

The procedure was devised with the intention that it will:

• Usually be possible to resolve a matter in an informal manner.
• Be non-adversarial and provide confidentiality for all parties.
• Allow any forthcoming matters to be dealt with in a swift manner.

How to make raise a concern or make a complaint

In the first instance, we would ask that parents and carers make an appointment with their child's class teacher to attempt to resolve the problem in an informal discussion. If after meeting with your child's teacher you feel that the issue remains unresolved, we ask that you make an appointment to meet with one of our Phase Leaders or a member of the Senior Leadership Team.

If you feel that the complaint is of a formal nature, we ask that you make an appointment with the Headteacher to discuss your concerns. Once a complaint has been received, we aim to resolve the matter promptly and ensure that a suitable outcome is reached.
