At Fairlight Glen, we are fully committed to ensuring our school is a safe, inclusive, and welcoming environment for all — our pupils, staff,
families, visitors and the wider community.
Below you’ll find our current policy documents, including those relating to safeguarding, behaviour, SEND provision, and accessibility. These outline how we support and protect our learners, promote positive relationships, and maintain high standards across the school.
If you'd like a copy of any policy in a different format (such as large print or easy read), or if you can’t find what you're looking for, please get in touch with the school office — we’re happy to help. We can provide printed or digital copies on request.

Ensuring they grow up in a safe, supportive, and caring environment
Taking action to help all children and young people achieve the best possible outcomes
Safeguarding is at the heart of everything we do to create a safe and nurturing school community.
