No requirement to have this policy
There's no legislation that says you need a CCTV policy, although you may choose to have one to set out how you'll use any CCTV cameras in school.
Under the UK GDPR, you will need to include details of any CCTV usage in your privacy notices where relevant, but these are the only documents it must be mentioned in.
