Download our model policy
This policy is designed for academies to adapt to their context. It takes account of relevant requirements and good practice, and has been approved by Forbes Solicitors.
Multi-academy trusts: go to the 'trust leaders' tab above to access our model policy for multi-academy trusts.
If you're a maintained school, speak to your local authority (LA) first about hiring out your premises. Your LA may have its own policy for you to use, or it can set specific rules for you to follow.
If you're a voluntary controlled, voluntary aided or foundation school, also speak to anyone else with a stake in your land (e.g. your diocese).
After you've done this, you may find our model helpful as a starting point, but be sure to adapt it in line with the conditions placed on you.
