Press Releases: Academy Policy

 

Dollar Academy regularly issues press releases, highlighting the achievements of its pupils, particularly where such achievements - whether sporting, charitable or competitive - are in the public domain. It is not normally the practice of the Academy to comment on educational, disciplinary or personal matters concerning individual pupils, groups of pupils or staff.

 

The Academy is grateful for the respect shown by members of the Press for the rights of individuals, especially when those individuals are children.

 

In the event of a serious accident befalling anyone associated with the Academy, we would generally wish to make a public response via the Press, even if such a response can be only of a limited nature until the facts of the situation are properly established.
