Policies

Anti-bullying

We are committed to providing a caring, friendly, and safe environment for all of our pupils so they can learn in a relaxed and secure atmosphere. Bullying of any kind is unacceptable at our school. If bullying does occur, all pupils should be able to tell and know that incidents will be dealt with promptly and effectively. Anyone who knows that bullying is happening is expected to tell the staff.

Attendance

As you are aware, our school considers regular attendance a priority to improve the educational outcomes of our children.  From September 2015, the Department of Education (DfE) have said that pupils with school attendance below 90% will be at risk of becoming a persistent absentee.  Any absence including illness, medical appointments, term time leave, punctuality and unauthorised absence will affect your child's attendance rate.

With immediate effect we will be unauthorising absences for children with attendance below 93%.  If this affects your child, you will be sent a letter informing you their attendance will no longer be authorised.

Like you, we want the very best for all our children, we hope therefore that you will support us in ensuring your child attends school every day and on time in order for them to access the education they are entitled to, enabling them to reach their full potential.  If you would like to discuss your child's attendance, please do not hesitate to contact Mrs Pitcher or Mrs Beauchamp.

Prevent Duty

This statutory guidance makes clear that schools and childcare providers are expected to assess the risk of children being drawn into terrorism, including support from extremist ideas that are part of terrorist ideology. This means being able to demonstrate both a general understanding of the risks affecting children and young people in the area and a specific understanding of how to identify individual children who may be at risk of radicalisation and what to do to support them. Even very young children may be vulnerable to radicalisation by others, whether in the family or outside, and display concerning behaviour. The Prevent duty does not require teachers or childcare providers to carry out unnecessary intrusion into family life but as with any other safeguarding risk, they must take action when they observe behaviour of concern.

We have also put a link to a very useful website http://educateagainsthate.com. The advice is aimed at keeping children and young people safe against radicalisation and extremism, as well as supporting their social development and educational attainment.
