Safeguarding

We have a strong safeguarding culture at our school.  All staff, parents and visitors to the site are asked to sign in when accessing the building and to provide proof of identity if needed.  We believe that one of the important roles we have is to protect our community from abuse and to keep them safe from harm.  

In September 2025, the government published a document called Keeping Children Safe in Education.  It provides clarity that schools should have their own individual safeguarding policy. This policy should meet the needs of their children in their community, with the particular kinds of issues that may be most important for them.

 To view our child protection policy please click here.  

Our safeguarding policy should be read in conjunction with the child protection policy.

We record all of our concerns about a child using an electronic system called  CPOMS. This system helps to monitor children in our school. 

Please see our 'Parents' tab on our homepage and click on 'Keeping your Child Safe Online' for more support on e-safety issues.

Water Safety 

From Hampshire Safeguarding Children Partnership Team 

Child drownings increase during hot weather. Reports from summer 2026 suggest that over a dozen children and young people lost their lives in water-related incidents, highlighting how quickly risks can escalate when temperatures rise and more children are around water.

The HSCP Water Safety Toolkit for parents and carers offers simple, practical advice to help families stay safe, including:

  • Everyday risks at home – including bath time safety and garden hazards
  • Staying safe outdoors – such as the beach, around rivers and in open water
  • Practical safety advice – including the Water Safety Code and how to “Float to Live”
  • Age-specific guidance – for babies, young children, older children and teenagers
  • What to do in an emergency – including simple first aid steps and where to find further support

Small actions - like close supervision, choosing safe places to swim and talking regularly with children - can make a big difference.
