Safeguarding is at the centre of all we do.  Safeguarding our children is the responsibility of all staff in our school. 

If you have concerns about a child within school hours, please contact the office and ask for the Designated Safeguarding Lead (DSL) or Deputy Designated Safeguarding Lead (DDSL).

Designated Safeguarding Lead: Mr Ashley Izzard-Snape
Deputy Designated Safeguarding Lead: Mr Tyson Oliver

If you have a concern out of hours and need help or need to report a concern, call 0116 305 0005. This will direct you to Leicestershire Children's Social Services. If a child is immediately at risk, please call the Police. 

Further information about safeguarding can be found in our Safeguarding and Child Protection Policy.

We are proud to work successfully in partnership with families and professional services to support our pupils. 

Our comprehensive safeguarding policy is available in our policies tab. This is supported by our Low Level Concerns policy, Anti Bullying policy, Child on Child Abuse Policy, Online Safety policy, Behaviour policy, Relationships and Sex Education policy and Designated Teacher for Looked After Children policy.

Our school is part of Operation Encompass. This is a police and education early intervention safeguarding partnership which supports children and young people who experience Domestic Abuse. Our school is currently taking part in a pilot Operation Encompass information sharing study, which involves the police sharing information with the school's DSL/ DDSLs about incidents reported to them that may have caused trauma to a child. This involves reporting incidents that the police have attended where they feel there has been an impact upon a child’s physical, emotional or mental well-being. This information is shared so that our school can better understand children’s living experience and can support, nurture and care for them more effectively.
