Key Policies and Documents

Please find our key policies and documentation below.  If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact school through the school office.  A paper copy of any of the policies below can be requested from the school office.  There may be a charge for this.

Data Protection

Southwark Primary School is part of the Believe Academy Trust. The Trust has a Privacy Policy and a Fair Processing Policy, which explain the way the Trust operates under the legal requirements of GDPR. Both documents are available to view on the Trust website here or, should you wish, a paper copy can be provided free of charge. To fulfil our legal obligations and duty of care we hold specific information. This is held securely.

Voluntary Contributions

The school asks for voluntary contributions towards trips and school events that are related to the curriculum. These contributions represent a proportion of the cost based on the principle that every parent pays. Where parents do not pay, this is financed from our “Pupil Premium” and is NOT levied by increasing the contributions of those that DO pay. However, if contributions were to fall considerably because too many parents choose not to pay, we might not be able to send pupils on as many interesting visits as we do at the moment.  Residential visits are not part of the daily curriculum and thus the school will refuse places to children whose parents do not wish to pay.  The school reserves the right to refuse to take a pupil on a trip if his/her participation may endanger the health and safety of others on the trip, or the pupil themselves.

Risk Protection Arrangements

The Claims Portal - If you are required to utilise the Claims Portal to submit a personal injury claim against us for either an employers or public liability matter then details of the correct portal ID and Compensator can be found on the attached link http://academyreferral.co.uk
