Safeguarding

Nothing is more important to us than the safety and wellbeing of our pupils. We are fully committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of every child in our care. All staff, governors and volunteers receive regular safeguarding training and work together to create a culture where children feel safe, valued and listened to.

We follow the statutory guidance Keeping Children Safe in Education (KCSIE)and have clear systems and policies in place to protect children from harm. Safeguarding is everyone’s responsibility, and we work closely with families and external agencies to ensure that every child can learn and grow in a safe and supportive environment.

Procedures that ensure the school offer excellent safeguarding measures include:

• Careful vetting during the recruitment of all new staff taking account of Department for Education guidance, including ensuring recruiters have received Safer Recruitment training.
• Thorough induction for all staff and annual training for all staff -annually reviewed procedures and policies through the Governing Body, including multi agency working arrangements.
• Clear procedures for all staff outlined in the staff handbook, including risk assessments for all aspects of school life, which are updated annually and involve the children.
