Understanding Our Policies

At Aston Community Education Trust (ACET), we are committed to transparency and accessibility in sharing our policies. On this page, you will find two distinct categories of policies:

  1. Trust Policies
    These policies are managed by the Trust and apply across all academies within ACET. They are developed and approved by the Trustees to ensure consistency and compliance with statutory requirements.

  2. Academy Policies
    These policies are specific to individual academies and are managed at the academy level. They reflect local needs and practices and are approved by the respective Local Governing Body.

Our policies remain valid until reviewed and replaced; they do not expire by date alone. Policies are reviewed annually, or sooner if required by statutory or legislative changes, in line with best practice.

If you are searching for a policy required to be published, please ensure you check both the Trust Policies and Academy Policies sections to locate the information you need.

If you cannot find the policy or information you are looking for, please do not hesitate to contact the Governance Leader at: governance@astoncetrust.org.
