Safeguarding

Safeguarding at Deighton Gates Primary School

At Deighton Gates Primary School, safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children is at the heart of everything we do. We are committed to providing a safe, nurturing and inclusive environment where every child feels valued, respected and protected.

We believe that all children have the right to feel safe and to be supported to achieve their full potential. Safeguarding is everyone's responsibility, and we work closely with pupils, families, staff, governors and external agencies to ensure that the wellbeing of every child remains our highest priority.

Our staff receive regular safeguarding training and are vigilant in recognising and responding to any concerns. Through our curriculum, pastoral support and strong partnerships with families, we help children develop the knowledge, confidence and resilience they need to stay safe, both in school and beyond.

If you have any concerns about the safety or welfare of a child, please contact a member of our safeguarding team immediately.

"Every child deserves to feel safe, supported and able to thrive."
