POLICIES

Copies of all policies are available on request from the school office.

CHARGING POLICY

We do not charge for any of the resources or books that we use in teaching, however, from time to time there are additional charges where we require a voluntary contribution. Examples are:
* Residential Visits
* Educational visits off the site
* Musical tuition/Physical Education/ Art-Design-Drawings
While we cannot insist parents contribute, we ask that every effort be made. We take great care to ensure that the activities support your child’s learning and keep costs to a minimum. However, if donations do not meet the cost, we may have to revise our plans.

BEHAVIOUR / DISCIPLINE POLICY

Behaviour of pupils at GYANKOSH-A Global School is very good and is often commented on by visitors. Children have many opportunities to play together and develop friendships. Our Behaviour and Discipline Policies are regularly reviewed and are based on praise and reward systems as well as clear sanctions. Sometimes children misbehave. If this happens, we ensure you are informed and if appropriate, asked to meet with the teacher, or a more senior member of staff. Our aim is to keep you informed so that, together, we can support your child in improving their behaviour.

SAFEGUARDING CHILDREN STATEMENT

The school Governing Body are accountable for ensuring effective child protection policies and procedures are in place in accordance with guidance if any issued by the Local Authority/ Board/Government/Ministry.

HOW TO MAKE A COMPLAINT

We hope that any complaints which parents may have can be resolved by the school. Therefore, in the first instance, these should be made to the Head of School. In most cases, complaints can be dealt with at an informal level. However, if they cannot be resolved in this way, there is an arrangement that should be followed.

The parent should submit the complaint in writing to the Secretary of the Board of Trustees who will acknowledge receipt of the complaint and inform the Board of Trustees that a complaint has been received. If the matter cannot be resolved by the Governing Body of the trust, the complaint can be referred in writing to the Local Authority, which will arrange for an investigation to take place.

If you require any detailed information on the Complaints procedure, full details are available on request from the school office. A helpful leaflet is available from the office.

EQUALITY OF OPPORTUNITY, GENDER, DISABILITY AND ACCESS

All the staffs work very hard to ensure that all pupils are given the same opportunities and are able to access these. This is regardless of gender, race, religious background, financial circumstances or disabilities. We firmly believe that this is essential to promote a fair and just school. The school has a Gender Equality Scheme, Disability Equality Scheme and Accessibility Plan, which all include action plans and are reviewed every three years. A copy of these can be obtained from the school office.

EMERGENCY CLOSURE OF SCHOOL

On very rare occasions, the school might have to close. The most likely reason for this would be due to heavy rains/cold/heat or other adverse weather conditions. If staffs who live at some distance from school cannot get to school, we may have to close. If this is the case, we will do the following.

We will announce this on our website and through Parent/Guardian Mobile Call/SMS /Mail or any other means of communication. If you have found out that the school has closed, we would be grateful if you could contact friends who have children at the school.

DATA PROTECTION

When a pupil is admitted to the school, information is collected under the Education Regulations if any of the relevant Board. It will be held securely and only be disclosed to staff in the school, the Education Department and the Social Services Department. We will not give information about you or your child to anyone outside the school without your consent unless the law and our rules permit it. However, if required by law to pass some of your information to the Local Authority (LA), /Government and concerned Ministry and the Department, we shall be bound to do so.

STAFF / ASSISTANTS

The School will provide best of well qualified Teaching Staffs/ Office Staffs/Support Staffs.

SCHOOL CONTACTS

The office is open during school hours. It is important that the school has a telephone number where you can be contacted during the school day in the case of an emergency, and the name and telephone number of your child's doctor. If there is any change in this information, please notify the school office immediately.

THE GOVERNING BODY

The role of the governing body is to ensure that our school provides an effective education to your children and meets all the statutory requirements. This is a huge task, and our trustees as governors are committed and hard working. The day-to-day management of the school is delegated to the Director/CEO-Chief Executive Officer and the Board of Trustees act as critical friends to support any school improvement.
