Safeguarding
Our staff and Governors aim to keep children safe through:
- Providing a safe environment for them to learn in
- Identifying children who are suffering or are likely to suffer significant harm and taking appropriate action to ensure that they are kept safe both at home and in the education setting.
To achieve this we aim to:
- Take all possible actions to prevent unsuitable people from working with children
- Promote safe practice and challenge any poor or unsafe practice
- Identify instances where there are grounds for concern about a child's welfare and initiate or take appropriate action to keep them safe
- Contribute to effective partnership working between all those involved in providing services for our children

Operation Encompass
Our school is now part of Operation Encompass which is a national scheme that operates jointly between schools and police forces.
Operation Encompass is the reporting to schools, prior to the start of the next school day, when a child or young person has experienced domestic abuse.
As a school we have ensured that a member of our staff, (Designated Safeguarding Lead) known as a Key Adult, has been trained in the Operation Encompass procedures allowing us to then use the information that has been shared, in confidence, to support the child/ren in our care.
