MAT Policies
The Aspire Multi-Academy Trust has produced a range of policies which are implemented across all Academies within the MAT. The aim of MAT policies is to provide consistency of practice and guidance across all Academies in the MAT, and to reduce duplication at local level. Additional policies may have sufficient local content to require the production of an Academy-specific policy, which will be found on the individual Academy websites.
