Policy Making Process

The Local Authority (Cambridgeshire County Council) and the Government are responsible for updating and issuing some of the policies which are adopted at Spring Common Academy.

School-based policies are drawn up by Spring Common Academy's Senior Leadership Team, and will go through a staff and Trustee consultation process. Advice is also sought from our Human Resources company - EPM, and Unions where applicable.

When the consultation process is complete and agreements received, the policies will be ratified by the board of Trustees before being issued and implemented.

If you have concerns for a child’s welfare, please call the Cambridgeshire County Council Contact Centre on 0345 045 5203.
