At Grange School, the safety, well-being, and protection of our students are the foundational pillars of our educational community. We operate under a strict zero-tolerance approach to any form of abuse, neglect, or harm, and we take our statutory safeguarding responsibilities with the utmost seriousness. Our campus is structured to ensure a secure, nurturing, and transparent environment where every child feels safe, valued, and empowered to voice their concerns.
The safeguarding details can be found in the Policies section of the website in the ‘Child protection Policy’. To maintain these rigorous standards, the school has established clear, dedicated safeguarding leadership roles. We have a fully qualified Designated Safeguarding Lead (DSL) and Assistant Designated Safeguarding Leads (ADSLs) available on-site daily to immediately manage and support any child protection matters. Furthermore, this oversight extends to our highest level of leadership, with a designated Safeguarding Governor on our Governing Council who oversees institutional compliance and accountability. Contact information for our safeguarding team is prominently displayed throughout the school and is permanently accessible to parents on the school website.
Safeguarding at Grange School is proactive and collaborative. Our students are regularly educated on personal safety, healthy boundaries, digital citizenship, and how to speak up through our comprehensive Personal, Social, Health, and Economic (PSHE) curriculum. In tandem, all academic, administrative, and auxiliary staff undergo regular, mandatory training in child protection best practices and mandated reporting. By continuously equipping both our students and staff with the knowledge to recognise and report concerns, we ensure that a robust culture of vigilance and care protects every member of the Grange family. The school has an app called ‘Whisper’ which children are given access and are able to post any safeguarding concerns which will be addressed by the safeguarding team.
