Safeguarding

Our Approach

Safeguarding is at the heart of our activities; all staff receive training throughout the year to ensure that they are up-to-date with the relevant legislation, advice and safeguarding procedures. All staff go through robust recruitment procedures and performance management cycles to ensure their suitability to work with young people. Kingsley Academy has a trained Deputy DSL’s and a Lead DSL. Safeguarding policies are rigorous and updated regularly in line with latest safeguarding guidance including the Keeping Children Safe in Education Sept 24.

Attendance is key to our students’ success and as such is closely monitored and analysed.

Attendance is reported daily, and this is relayed to relevant stakeholders in a weekly report.

Lateness is monitored carefully and reported.

Below are number of Local Safeguarding Children Boards that you can contact directly if the need arises.

SEND

Each child is given a broad, balanced and relevant curriculum based on outcomes and next steps. The special needs of each young person, as identified in their EHCP, are addressed, with statutory reviews held regularly and completed in a thorough manner. An Individual behaviour management programme is used for students, where applicable, and is continually reviewed. We provide continuous professional development and training for staff in the management of young people with SEMH.
