Our children’s safety is of the utmost importance to us and we work hard to keep them safe.
All of our staff receive regular safeguarding training. We have trained Designated Safeguard Leads (DSL) in school;
Kirsty Stuart is the DSL
Natalie Muggeridge is the Deputy DSL
Cathy Shergold and Claire Kearney are the Governors with responsibility for Safeguarding.
We encourage anyone with a safeguarding concern to contact one of our safeguarding team.
If you have any safeguarding issues but would prefer not to speak to school staff please contact Mrs Cathy Shergold or Mrs Alison McKeown (Safe-guarding Governors) via the school office.
If we have reasonable cause for concern that a child maybe at risk of significant harm, we will refer to social care. This referral can be made with or without us informing parents.
For further information please read our Child Protection policy, which is available below and also in our Information Hub under the tab ‘Policies’ – or contact one of our safeguarding team.
Some quick tips for keeping your children safe on-line:
You are the responsible adult. You pay the bill. You own the phone. Therefore, you have the right and responsibility to be a good watchdog.
At the heart of the work of every primary school class is a continuous cycle of planning, teaching and assessment which takes account of the wide range of abilities, aptitudes and interests of the children. The majority of children will learn and progress within these arrangements. Those children whose overall attainments and achievement in specific subjects fall significantly outside the expected range may have Special Educational Needs (SEN).
For children who have a specific learning difficulty or a disability, our Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) policy outlines the educational support we provide.
If a teacher notices a pupil experiencing difficulties with their learning they will seek guidance from the school Special Educational Needs and Disabilities Co-ordinator (SENDCo). Advice will be given, which may include alternate strategies to support the pupils learning. Both class teacher and SENDCo will hold a meeting with parents to discuss next steps which could include:
When a child is placed on the Special Educational Needs register, consultation with parents will continue through:
