Charging and Remissions Policy (hyperlink)

St Ralph Sherwin Catholic Multi Academy Trust is committed to ensuring equal opportunities for all pupils, regardless of financial circumstances, and has established the following policy and procedures to ensure that no child is discriminated against by our offering of school trips, activities and educational extras.
In addition, we are committed to adhering to legal requirements regarding charging for school activities, and meeting all statutory guidance provided by the DfE.
We promise:
Not to charge for education provided during school hours and to inform parents on low incomes and in receipt of relevant benefits of the support available to them when asking for contributions.

Complaints Procedure (hyperlink)

Governing Bodies of Academies, Free Schools and Independent schools are required, under the Education (Independent Schools Standards) Regulations 2014 to have in place a procedure to deal with complaints relating to the institution and to any community facilities or services that the institution provides. The law also requires the procedure to be publicised.

Confidential Report (Whistleblowing) Policy (hyperlink)

There are certain complaints which fall outside the remit of the Complaints Procedure, for example, staff grievances or disciplinary procedures. It is recommended that the Djanogly Learning Trust (the Trust) ensures that any third party providers offering community facilities or services through the use of its premises or facilities [even if, for example, it is hiring them out for a wedding reception], have their own complaints procedure in place.
The term “complainant” has been used for all those bringing a complaint against the Trust/Academy and includes all complainants, not specifically parents or carers.

Definitions of special educational needs and disability (SEND) taken from section 20 of the Children and Families Act 2014.
A child or young person has SEND if they have a learning difficulty or disability which calls for special educational provision to be made for them. A child of compulsory school age or a young person has a learning difficulty or disability if they:
a) have a significantly greater difficulty in learning than the majority of others of the same age; or
