Safeguarding
The safety and well being of all children and young people is of paramount importance. Parents and carers send their children to school each day with the expectation that the school provides a safe and secure environment in which their children can flourish. We, therefore, have to ensure that this expectation becomes reality. In order to achieve this, a wide range of measures are put into place:
- Allergies and Food Policy
- Anti-Bullying Policy
- Attendance Policy
- Positive Relationships Policy
- Child Protection and Safeguarding Policy
- Single Equality Policy and Action Plan
- First Aid and Pupil Wellbeing Policy
- Medical Needs Policy
- Administering Medicines Policy
- Health and Safety Policy
- Safer Recruitment Policy
The Designated Safeguarding Lead (DSL) is Simon Jackson
The Deputy Designated Safeguarding Leads (DDSL) are Aisling Hill and Sally Goodchild.

Operation Encompass
Operation Encompass is a unique Police and Education early intervention safeguarding partnership which supports children and young people exposed to domestic abuse.
Operation Encompass is the reporting to schools before the start of the next school day when a child or young person has been involved or exposed to a domestic abuse incident the previous evening.
The information is given in strict confidence to a school’s Key Adult to enable support to be given dependent on the needs and wishes of the child.
Carterton Primary School Primary School is engaged with this scheme.
