Policies

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. Some policies are Imperium wide and some are school specific. They will state which school in the title.

If you would like paper copies, then please do not hesitate contact us and we will provide copies free of charge.

G.D.P.R

As the Imperium Federation, we have taken comprehensive steps to ensure G.D.P.R. compliance including a full audit, training and policy.

We will, under the current guidance respond to requests within the one calendar month. However, requests received during or just before school closure periods will not be able to be responded to within the one calendar month response period. This is because the federation will be closed, and as such, no one will be on site to comply with the request.

As a result, it is unlikely that your request will be received during this time (and so the time period does not run until we have received the request). We may not be able to acknowledge your request during this time (i.e. until a time we receive the request) and the time period may not start until the school re-opens.

The federation will endeavour to comply with requests as soon as possible and will keep in communication with you as far as possible. If your request is urgent, please provide your request during term times and not during or close to closure periods.

(c)securing that the standard of behaviour of pupils is acceptable,

(d)securing that pupils complete any tasks reasonably assigned to them in connection with their education, and

(e)otherwise regulating the conduct of pupils.

The head teacher must in determining such measures—

[5A)The measures which the head teacher of a relevant school in Wales determines under subsection (1) may, to such extent as is reasonable and not required by subsection (2A)(c), include measures to be taken with a view to regulating the conduct of pupils at a time when they are not on the premises of the school and are not under the lawful control or charge of a member of the staff of the school.]
