Policies
"The Forest of Dean Trust is an equal opportunity organisation and encourages all staff and students to be treated similarly, unhampered by artificial barriers or prejudices or preferences."
There are a number of important trust-wide policies that you should be aware of. We seek to monitor and update these regularly so the latest copies will be made available here as they are approved.
Trust policies are listed below, including both statutory and non-statutory policies.
Each school also holds its own school-specific policies. These can be found on their websites at the links below:
