Safeguarding

Safeguarding Statement

Windy Nook Primary School recognises that it has a duty to ensure arrangements are in place for safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children, staff and visitors. We will carry out this duty through our teaching and learning, pastoral care, extended school activities and daily site-management. Our Safeguarding Policy focuses on prevention, protection and support. Our policy applies to all pupils, staff, parents, governors, volunteers and visitors. It is expected that our children will at all times, flourish in a safe and stimulating environment; they should feel safe and secure, and encouraged to relate to trusted adults. We will endeavour to provide activities and opportunities through the curriculum and in the PSHE curriculum that will equip our children with the skills they need to stay safe and to develop essential life skills.

If you have any concerns about Safeguarding please see the Head Teacher.
