The building site area has now been sealed off from the main school and the old HORSA building is being carefully dismantled.  The oil tank for the school heating system has been moved to the new garden site on the western side of the school and this ground is being cleared.  As soon as the HORSA building has been completely removed the earth moving equipment will come in to excavate the site ready for the footings of the new building and the west facing ‘garden area’. 

The safety of everyone in the school community is a primary concern at all times and is everyone’s responsibility.  Cranborne CE VA First School recognises that the welfare of the child is paramount and takes seriously its responsibility to safeguard and promote the welfare of the children and young people in its care.  If appropriate, the school will seek the advice and help of outside agencies in dealing with more specialised problems.  For example, the Education Social Worker (ESW) will liaise between home and school.  We may also seek advice from the Educational Psychologist, the School Medical Officer, Social Services, the Speech & Language Therapist and the Child Guidance Service. 

In all these cases parents will be kept fully informed at all times. 

  

Our first priority is your child’s welfare and therefore they may be occasions when our concern about your child means that we have to consult other agencies before we contact you.  The Bournemouth, Dorset and Poole Child Protection Committee have determined the procedures we follow.  If you want to know more about our Policy and these procedures, please speak to the Headteacher, or ask the School Secretary for a copy.  The school has a Governor with responsibility for Safeguarding.
