Managing Policy and Procedures

Gorge Road School's policies and procedures are clear, comprehensive, and up-to-date. They direct the operation of the school and provide clear expectations for everyone in the school community.

Special reviews

As part of the school's commitment to self-review and ongoing improvement, from time to time we may undertake special, unscheduled reviews. These reviews may be in response to a specific event or concern, or a new challenge for the school, or consensus from the school community that a review would be useful.
