We could not have chosen a better school! We are so pleased with how much you do with the children; the discos, trips, panto etc! Some of our friends whose children go to school elsewhere do not do half of what you do at St Botolph’s! Our son loves the Sunday timetable that we get sent so he can see what his week will look like.
My daughter enjoys everything she does at school. She loves to come to school. Why would you pick any other school? St Botolph’s is the best! Great staff and teachers who do their very best.
We are over the moon with the positive impact St Botolph’s have made, not only for our daughter but us as a family. Seeing her happy to attend school and happy coming out of school is the best feeling! Leaps and bounds has happened this year for our daughter, we are so grateful to see her thriving as she is finally understood and listened to. We are so proud! Thank you to all!
Safeguarding is a term which is broader than “child protection” and relates to the actions taken to promote the welfare of the children and protect them from harm.
Safeguarding our pupils is of paramount importance.
St Botolphs Church of England Primary School is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and we expect all staff and volunteers to share this ethos.
Safeguarding is everyone’s priority: if you see, hear or have any concerns about a child within school hours, please contact the office and ask for Mrs Pepper, our Designated Safeguarding Leader, on 01509 503387. If you have a concern out of hours and need help or need to report a concern, call 0116 305 0005. This number will direct you to Leicestershire Children's Social Services. If a child is immediately at risk, please call the Police.
Our Designated Safeguarding Leader is Mrs Emma Pepper, Head teacher. Mrs Pepper is also the Prevent leader for the school.
Our Deputy Designated Safeguarding leaders are Miss Allison Lawley, Deputy Head teacher and Mrs Nicola Robe, Family & Mental Wellbeing Lead.
Our detailed safeguarding policy is available in our policies tab (this policy also includes our Low Level Concerns policy), In addition, safegurding is supported with a number of our additional policies: Anti Bullying policy, E- Safety policy, Behaviour policy and Relationships and Sex Education policy
Our school is part of Operation Encompass. This is a police and education early intervention safeguarding partnership which supports children and young people who experience Domestic Abuse. Our school is currently taking part in a pilot Operation Encompass information sharing study, which involves the police sharing information with the school's DSL/ DDSLs about incidents reported to them that may have caused trauma to a child. This involves reporting incidents that the police have attended where they feel there has been an impact upon a child’s physical, emotional or mental well-being. This information is shared so that our school can better understand children’s living experience and can support, nurture and care for them more effectively.
