Safeguarding Statement:
At Weald, we recognise our moral and statutory responsibility to safeguard and promote the welfare of all pupils, staff, parents and other members of the community. We endeavour to provide a safe and welcoming environment where everyone is respected and valued. The positive ethos and value system is promoted through our vision statement, "In our school, we smile, share, and shine together. Through character we learn to think for ourselves, help each other, and grow into kind, confident people. Everyone belongs, everyone matters, and together we make our school a happy place to be."
As identified in our 2025 Ofsted Inspection Report, ‘The arrangements for safeguarding are effective.' Pupils are safe and happy at school. Leaders create a caring culture in which staff know pupils well. These engender feelings of safety, happiness and self-worth amongst all children and adults alike.
We have a range of policies in place to cover all the facets of safeguarding within our school. These ensure that all members of our school community:
- Are aware of their responsibilities in relation to safeguarding and child protection
- Know the procedures that should be followed if they have a cause for concern
- Know where to go to find additional information regarding safeguarding
- Are aware of the key indicators relating to child abuse
- Fully support the school's commitment to safeguarding and child protection.
