Safeguarding

At Packmoor Ormiston the safety and wellbeing of every child is a main priority as we recognise our moral and statutory responsibility to safeguard and promote the welfare of all pupils. We endeavour to provide a safe and welcoming environment where children are respected and valued. We are alert to the signs of abuse and neglect and follow our procedures to ensure that children receive effective support, protection and justice.

The Academy adheres to a strict Child Protection and Safeguarding Policy that is reviewed and updated annually and in addition we follow all government guidance. The procedures contained in the Academy’s Child Protection and Safeguarding Policy apply to all staff and governors and are consistent with those of the Local Safeguarding Children Board (LSCB).

If you have any safeguarding concerns please email our safeguarding team at packmoor@packmoorormiston.co.uk or contact the school office on 01782 234544.

“All the parents I spoke to and almost all who responded to Parent View agree that their children are safe and well cared for. Pupils told me that they feel safe in school. They are confident that if they have any worries or problems any member of staff in school would help them. In addition, pupils could confidently explain how they learn about staying safe as part of the curriculum. For example, they know how to stay safe online, to use their bicycles safely and about the risks that strangers can pose. Pupils told me that there is no bullying at the school and that if there were, an adult would sort it out quickly.”
