I have a Cisco 2500 wireless controller and four lightweight access points. I want to use the controller to manage a wireless network secured by WPA only, without using RADIUS or anything else. We'll handle the authentication using a captive portal behind the access points.
However, it seems like the controller's default security policy requires a RADIUS server and I can't find out how to switch the policy off. The documentation assumes I'm in an environment which needs heavy-duty security and the use case is actually a small charity/business with much less stringent security requirements.

How do I disable the complicated security policy and instead run a simple one that just uses WPA?

The WLAN settings dictate the authentication protocol. Sounds like you have 8021.X enabled. L2 security should just be WPA2-PSK. With that setting, AAA Override or RADIUS servers defined globally on the WLC should not matter. (I'm basing this on a 5508 and am assuming it's not too different on the 2500).
