And, they took this one down again (don't forget, that is a good thing).  I am not at all at the point of thinking the sspx wants to embrace these teachings.  This sɛҳuąƖ behavior stuff is not a two steps forward one steps back thing, it is way more and out of place.
They took the page down off their internet webpage, but is it still an official part of their hard-copy policy book?
If they're just hiding the policy paper from their internet presence, I'm not at all sure it's "a good thing".  If this has been completely eliminated from the school's policy canon, then, yes, it's "a good thing".

Had a good meeting today with Fr Robert Brucciani of the FSSPX and his brother Fr John Brucciani, the new head of their school in Burghclere

Reading the twitter comments, it's funny how after all the furor over the lifting of the "excommunications" years ago some people still think the society are schismatic.

John Brucciani is a despicable human being. Now he and his brother are getting close to Bishop Egan, according to a tweet from Egan's account: https://twitter.com/bishopegan?lang=en (from September 5). Brucciani the Younger will ruin the school before he's through.
I think that is a very harsh comment: despicable, deserving hatred and contempt. I'd be wary of saying that about a priest.

Hopefully there will be some clarification on all this soon.

Sure, I mean it's not like they rebel against their hierarchs or anything.

Cosy chats with the diocesan bishop may indicate the way things are going. And positioning oneself within the mainstream would certainly come with a requirement that the laws of the land would be adhered to willingly. SSPX priests are not crusaders and will learn from mainstream churchmen on how to do things. If the school remains a viable private fee-paying entity, I can see it in ten years being open to 'all faiths' catering to the particular needs of a privileged few. Catholic schools have for too long given an impression of holiness where very little has existed. There can be a huge gulf between the blackboard and the altar steps. They could be on different planets!

Filing?/Re: Deviant sɛҳuąƖ behavior defended by SSPX school in the UK

I'm not sure that by removing the material on line that means the policy itself has been removed.

That uncertainty is entirely sensible.

I can't claim knowledge of the bureaucratic environment of the U.K., but if it's similar enough to that of the the U.S.A., I'd expect that the legal form or matter that's actually required of each charity or school would be filing the policy with whatever government organization legally requires such a policy to exist.  If the government organization acknowledges--or would acknowledge if doubts were raised [†]--that the policy has been filed, then any means of publication, including accessibility on line would be legally optional.  So the presence or absence of such policy on line would not be a reliable or trustworthy evidence of whether it were still in effect at the charity or school in question.

Note †: At least somewhat analogous to filing an annual tax return with the U.S. Internal Revenue "Service", in this sense: If one completes all the required forms with the proper care, and presents it to the U.S. Postal Service by the applicable deadline, one needn't worry about whether the return was filed, or whether the IRS received it.
