School policy

Ofsted is the Office for Standards in Education, Children's Services and Skills. It reports directly to Parliament and is both independent and impartial. By law it must inspect schools with the aim of providing information to parents, to promote improvement and to hold schools to account.

Some of South Harringay School's policies are below. They are regularly reviewed and changed by our Governing Body. If you wish to have a paper copy of any of these policies, please request them at reception.

The pupil premium is additional funding for publicly funded schools in England to raise the attainment of disadvantaged pupils of all abilities and to close the gaps between them and their peers.

The government is providing additional funding of £150 million per annum to improve provision of physical education (PE) and sport in primary schools. Schools must spend the additional funding on improving their provision of PE and sport, but they will have the freedom to choose how they do this.

Good attendance at school is an essential part of an excellent education. We want children attending school every day.

At South Harringay School we promote British values in all that we do. British values are; democracy, the rule of law, individual liberty and the mutual respect for and tolerance of those with different faiths and beliefs and for those without faith.

We welcome our duties under the Equality Act 2010.
