The Governing Body sets the framework for the school’s Discipline Policy. Within school we have a Behaviour Policy, which has been approved by Governors and from this, stems a variety of policies, which we use on a day-to-day basis.

A list of school organisational policies is published in the annual prospectus, the new edition of which is available in September. If parents wish to look at any of the schools policies then they are asked to contact reception. Occasionally, clarification is required over policy matters and we seek to resolve such matters amicably and quickly.

Parents are reminded that in accepting a place at Kingstone, they are effectively accepting the policies, which are set out in the School Prospectus and laid down by Governors. Should parents wish to complain, the school has a clear procedure based on the LEA guidelines. This procedure is available from the school on request. Parents are always asked to telephone the school immediately and if necessary make an appointment with senior staff, who will carry out appropriate investigations. Parents who contact the LEA or Governors about any matter first will, as a matter of course, be referred to the school. Parents have the right of appeal to the Governors following the outcome of any school based, internal investigation.
