Safeguarding and Online/E-Safety
Anna Hall, Head Teacher, is Designated Safeguarding Lead (DSL). Tracey Walker-Brown and Lisa Payne are Deputy DSL's. Rachel Appleton and Dianne Tuckett are Safeguarding Governors and David Stainton is Deputy Safeguarding Governor.
The Child Protection and Safeguarding Policy for our school can be found in the policy section of this website, as can our Online.E-Safety Policy. Paper copies are available from our school office. Our policy is based on the Lincolnshire County Council (L.C.C.) template policy.
The DSL, Deputy DSLs and School Governors, have read, and closely follow, the guidance in Keeping Children Safe In Education September 2025 (see document below). All other staff members have read, understood and adhere to Parts 1 and 5 of the document.

We take the need to educate our children around the subject of Online-Safety, very seriously. It is regularly addressed across the curriculum as well as explicitly taught as part of RSE lessons. As part of their PSHE/RSE curriculum, children in years 2 to 6 take part in an age-appropriate "Online-Safety Workshop", led by the Lincolnshire County Council Online-Safety Officer (via the Lincolnshire "Stay Safe Partnership"). Filtering and Monitoring Systems are regularly reviewed by Governors.
