Your child’s time at Primary School is a key part of their life. Many of the basic skills and knowledge, which they will need for later life, have their foundations here at the youngest stage of their education.

We are proud of our work and of our achievements at Brookfield Primary School:

“The most able pupils’ progress/attainment in English has risen and is consistently higher than that of other pupils nationally.”

“Pupils have very high aspirations.” 

“Pupils’ behaviour is excellent in class and around the school.”

“The overwhelming majority of parents and carers value the support they receive from the school and the progress that their children make. Many said that the school has a ‘family atmosphere’, that the staff know their children well.”

OFSTED 2018

We’re confident that your child will enjoy our school and we look forward to working with you and your child in order to give them the best possible start to their learning. If you require a paper copy of any of the information detailed on this website, please contact the school office on 01332 516459 and we will be happy to help.

Our commitment to Safeguarding

 

We are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and expect all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. All Staff are employed subject to a DBS check and undergo Safeguarding training prior to starting their role. There is annual Safeguarding training for all staff.

Safeguarding is about ensuring that everyone is safe from harm – safe from bullying, safe from people who could abuse, safe from discrimination or harassment – and that we all feel safe in our environment.

We have a number of policies and procedures in place that contribute to our safeguarding commitment, including our Child Protection and Safeguarding Policy which can be viewed in the Safeguarding section of our website.

Sometimes we may need to share information and work in partnership with other agencies when there are concerns about a child’s welfare. We will ensure that our concerns about our pupils are discussed with his/her parents/carers first unless we have reason to believe that such a move would be contrary to the child’s welfare. If a member of staff is concerned about a child’s welfare, they will record their concern, and any observations or conversation heard using our secure online system CPOMS. The concern will also be reported to one of the DSLs as soon as possible the same day.

If a member of staff has concerns which relate to the actions or behaviour of another member of staff (which could suggest that s/he is unsuitable to work with children) then this will be reported to one of the DSLs or Headteacher in confidence. If the concern relates to the headteacher this will be reported to the Trust. Concerns regarding members of staff may be reported to the LADO.

We actively support the Government’s Prevent Agenda to counter radicalism and extremism.

If you are ever concerned about the safety or well‐being of someone at our school please talk to one of the school’s Designated Safeguarding Lead s (DSLs) shared below.

As a result of internal audit and DfE recommendations, the school has directly adopted the LA Safeguarding policy and any school specific information is contained within the safeguarding poster below.
