Safeguarding at Grateley Primary School
At Grateley Primary School the safety, wellbeing and welfare of every child is our highest priority. We are committed to providing a safe, caring and inclusive environment where every child feels valued, listened to and protected from harm.
Safeguarding is everyone's responsibility. All staff work together to promote children's welfare, recognise signs of concern and to respond promptly to any safeguarding issues. We are committed to ensuring that children feel safe, know how to seek help and understand that their voice matters.
We work in partnership with parents, carers and external agencies to ensure that children receive the support they need to thrive. Through our curriculum, relationships and everyday practice, we help children develop the knowledge, confidence and skills to keep themselves safe, both in school and beyond, including online. We have created a safeguarding curriculum within our PSHE curriculum and assemblies which teaches our children how to stay safe in school and outside school.
- Adults in school who keep you safe.
- Safety attending events (Bonfire Night and Halloween).
- Safe adults outside school including railway safety.
- Bullying; planned within online safety week.
- Online safety; planned within online safety week.
- Road safety.
- Water safety.
- Keeping safe during the school holidays.
If you have a concern about the safety or wellbeing of a child, please contact the school and ask to speak to a member of the safeguarding team. We take all concerns seriously and will act in the best interests of the child.
