Safeguarding
PROTECTING OUR CHILDREN
The School and pre-school take its Child Protection responsibility seriously and aims to protect and safeguard the welfare of children and young people in its care.
Our ethos fosters partnership between School, pre-school and parents, listening to and valuing pupils, training staff to be aware of signs and symptoms of abuse and carrying out the correct procedures, maintaining a safe school environment, and working in partnership with other agencies in this area.
The Trust Designated Safeguarding Lead is Mr N Heath.
The Designated Safeguarding Lead for Primrose Lane Primary School is Mrs Sherrard and the Deputies are Mrs Nathan, Miss Miles and Mrs Staple. In Little Learners the Designated Safeguarding Lead is Mrs Sarah Reed. Please speak to them should you wish to know more about procedures. A copy of our Child Protection and Safeguarding Policy is available using the link on this page.

#WAKEUPWEDNESDAY
‘Wake Up Wednesday’ Safety Support Page
Welcome to our ‘safety’ advice, guidance and support page, ‘Wake Up Wednesday - what Parents and Carers Need to Know’.
Each week we will post articles of interest to this page that should help you and your child.
- Children regularly use different websites and apps from their parents, and it can be hard to keep up in this ever-changing digital world. But the things that help keep children safe online are often similar to the things that keep them safe offline.
- Encourage your child to think critically and question what they see online. Talk to them about where they go to get information they trust, talk about fake news, fake followers and scams. Help them develop a healthy suspicion of whether people are who they say they are.
- Share your knowledge and experience of good and unhealthy relationships.
- Show them how to report any worrying behaviour they see online – for example through Child Exploitation and Online Protection Command or the Internet Watch Foundation.
- We can help prepare children for their futures if we help them go online safely and responsibly.
