Safeguarding and Anti-Bullying Governor

Elizabeth Mandeville is our named governor for safeguarding and anti-bullying who ensures that the school acts to prevent and tackle all forms of bullying.

We have a number of policies that support safeguarding in school:

Pupil Behaviour Policy

Child protection and safeguarding policy 2024-25

Anti-bullying Policy

Digital Citizenship and E-Safety Policy

As a school within Leicestershire, we are part of Operation Encompass. Operation Encompass directly connects the police with schools to secure better outcomes for children who are subject or witness to police-attended incidents of domestic abuse. Rapid provision of support within the school environment means children are better safeguarded against the short, medium and long-term effects of domestic abuse.
