School Policies
Hanford Prep has a number of policies in place which guide the school day to day.
These policies help inform the actions of all individuals involved with the school. We aim to ensure the girls at Hanford Prep are given every opportunity to discover where they can excel while beginning to develop the knowledge and life skills essential for a happy and successful life, in a safe, secure and enjoyable environment.
These policies ensure and endorse the well-being of all children, staff, volunteers and everyone who is connected to Hanford Prep. They provide consistency amongst staff, parents and children.
