Safeguarding

At Healdswood, we work hard to safeguard the children in our care by protecting them from harm so that they can grow up safe, happy and healthy.  Safeguarding concerns are a priority within school and all staff have received appropriate Safeguarding training including PREVENT training.

Through our curriculum we teach children to stay safe and happy.  We encourage the understanding that any problem or worry that they may have is legitimate, and to share their worries, big or small with their trusted adult at home or at school.

Anti-Bullying

At Healdswood Infant & Nursery School we aim to provide a supportive, caring, and friendly environment which allows all our pupils to learn in an atmosphere which is focussed on improving their life chances and helping them to maximise their potential. We expect our pupils to act safely, and feel safe, in and outside of school – we do not tolerate any form of bullying and we are committed to preventing and tackling it. We recognise that as children learn and grow together, they may experience fallouts with their peers, but we are committed to supporting our pupils to resolve these ‘relational conflicts’ and stop them from progressing to bullying behaviours. If an incident of bullying does occur, we believe our pupils, parents/carers and staff should feel confident in reporting it and know that all incidents will be dealt with promptly and effectively.

Bullying will never be tolerated at our school.

E-Safety

At Healdswood Infant and Nursery school we work hard to educate children on how to stay safe online.  Children learn about staying safe when using technology and the dangers they may face.  This is done through stories, activities, assemblies, PSHE lessons, songs and videos.  We have clear internet rules and we have child friendly, supportive procedures to allow children to report worries or concerns.  We want our children to be responsible internet users.  The internet is an exciting place, with much to learn from it, together we can help children to use it in a responsible way whilst still having fun and learning!  Please click on the links below to find further information and ideas that you can use at home.
