Policies

Our policies and procedures help to embed the Potteries Educational Trust vision, ethos and development.

These documents provide a framework for our full members, ensuring that the quality of education to students is outstanding, inclusive of all and comprehensive, and that each member organisation provides a safe place for students to feel welcome, to express themselves freely and to enjoy an education that goes beyond qualifications.

Each of our policy documents, available from the list below, clearly explains the purpose of the policy and associated procedures and which areas of our Trust they apply to.
