Letting Schools Premises

Guidance on 'Letting School Premises' has been made available to all Redbridge schools, including a model policy document.

Schools are advised to use their discretion in applying this model policy and its procedures to their settings. Where a school feels they could benefit from adopting this policy, the document and appendices should be adapted and amended to appropriately reflect specific arrangements and requirements of individual schools.
