Safeguarding: information for parents

Introduction

• Our school recognises our moral and statutory responsibility to safeguard and promote the welfare of pupils. We will endeavour to provide a safe and welcoming environment where children are respected and valued. We will be alert to the signs of abuse and neglect and will follow our procedures to ensure that children receive effective support, protection and justice.
• We have put together this booklet to give you some information about how we meet our safeguarding and child protection responsibilities. We have also included some tips to help you to keep your child safe.
• Our designated people for safeguarding pupils are: Mr A Broadley, Mr A Greenhalgh and Mrs C Whiteley.
• If you have any questions about this booklet, or our safeguarding pupils policy please contact any of the above.

We help to keep pupils safe by:

• having an up to date safeguarding pupils policy
• having other safeguarding policies, such as anti-bullying and internet safety
• checking the suitability of all our staff to work with children
• encouraging pupils to tell us if something is wrong
• adhering to health and safety regulations
• training all our staff to recognise and respond to child welfare concerns
• appointing designated people who has additional training in child protection
• working in partnership with parents and carers
• sharing information with appropriate agencies if we have concerns
• managing and supporting our staff team

IF YOU ARE CONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFETY OR WELFARE OF YOUR CHILD, OR A
CHILD YOU KNOW, YOU SHOULD ACT WITHOUT DELAY.

Uniform Order Form

All uniform orders will need to be placed directly with the schools supplier rather than the school itself.

We have given careful thought to this decision. There will be a number of benefits including allowing you to order online and arranging the delivery to your home, your workplace or to your child in school. You will also be able to place orders using debit/credit cards.

We will continue to hold samples in school so that you can check sizes. We will also provide support for any family preferring to use cash (please visit our reception). There will be minimal price change.

You can find out more about uniform orders by clicking on the link here which will take you to our uniform supplier Sportswear International website. You will need to register (once only) and then you will be able to place orders on line. Or alternatively you can use the pdf order form here.

If you have any queries or problems please contact the Finance Office on 01865 877634 or email here
