Safeguarding Our School

Child Protection and Safeguarding

In response to an excellent question from a parent regarding our safeguarding procedures, I wanted it to be known that at Pendoylan there is a robust child protection policy which is reviewed annually. All policies are available from the school office and the recently updated versions are in the process of being uploaded to our website policy page. The staff have all been trained in safeguarding and child protection procedures and are kept informed of any alterations and updates to these procedures.

In brief:
* Safeguarding means protecting children from maltreatment
* Preventing impairment of children's health or development

It also includes:
* Pupil health and safety
* Anti-bullying and cyber bullying procedures
* Meeting the needs of pupils with medical conditions
* Providing First Aid
* Educational visits
* Intimate care
* Internet safety
* School security

I am the designated Safeguarding/Child Protection Officer for the school as well as the designated member of staff for 'Looked After Children' (LAC) so any further requests and questions should be directed to me, and I shall be happy to advise or assist you.

Thank you and regards,

Mrs Lyn Murray

Heave Ho for Sport Relief!

As part of our fundraising efforts for Sport Relief 2014, the staff took on the might of our pupils in a 'Tug of War'! Every class was given the opportunity to defeat the teachers and plenty proved too strong for the staff. It was a wonderfully fun afternoon, a fantastic cause and we're grateful for all your generous donations.
