I didn't get past the first sentence I'm afraid

"If any section of this policy is contrary to the code of practice then good reason has been given"

how nice - I wonder if they realise it is statutory guidance - they can't just pick and choose whether to have regard to it -

TROUBLE is they don't have to COMPLY with it, they have to have REGARD to it - so unless the wording says "must" - you are still stuffed if CoP says "should" or other wooliness

To prevent any further unpleasantness I'm not reading any further :)

Some independent schools in my area have similar policies.

Statutory guidance must be followed unless there is good reason for not doing so - this is why it is phrased in that way.

Not saying it is lawful - haven't read it!
