A very warm welcome to High Greave Junior School. Our aim is to ensure that all our children, from their start with us, feel safe, secure and happy. All our staff are dedicated and committed to providing an exciting and effective learning environment which enables all our children to become motivated, confident and independent learners. Through the curriculum and experiences we provide we want children to develop a thirst for learning and take pride in the work they produce.

Through the setting of high expectations, we work together to ensure all children reach their full potential and are prepared for the next stage in their learning. We work in partnership with parents and encourage them to be fully involved in their child’s learning and development during their time at our school.

We encourage you to visit our school to see for yourself evidence of the amazing learning and experiences we provide for our learners. Please contact the school office for further information.

We look forward to welcoming you

The Champions Board at High Greave Junior School has been temporarily suspended following the procedures set out in the School Champions Handbook.

Monitoring and review on behalf of the suspended Champions Board 

  • as part of their risk management and risk mitigation duties, the Trustees may request sight of the standardised Champions slideshow presentations from the headteacher about the school and its activities at either full board or committee meetings;
  • in the event of the suspension of the School Champions Board, the headteacher will continue to produce the same number of headteacher reports as before and present them to the Trust Partner. These will then be taken forward and critiqued by their group of ‘partner Headteachers’ from within the hub region via email;
    • the expectation of the partner Headteachers is to offer challenge either in-person or over email. The relevant Trust Partner will quality assure this dialogue;
    • By exception these reports may also be considered within the relevant fortnightly Mini-headteacher’s group as an agenda item and/or at Executive Team meetings on Monday afternoons, or in 1-to-1 meetings between the Trust Partner and CEO.

 

 

Working more closely with the Executive Team and those that are responsible for governance

On an annual basis, following suspension:

  • Trustees, acting in their role as those responsible for governance across the Trust, will offer challenge and support to the Executive Team in relation to the stated school as part of their calendared meetings as they see fit;
  • re-consideration of any of the above relevant stages is prioritised by those who have contact at a local level (Trust Partner, Headteacher etc.) to seek any possible way forward to re-start the Champions Board at either a stand-alone or Executive (in conjunction with another local Trust school) basis.

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.
