"Safeguarding The arrangements for safeguarding are effective.
The trust cascades training to school level well. Staff receive regular guidance from school leaders to help them identify vulnerable pupils. Concerns are shared swiftly. Training ensures written records are factual and suitably detailed. Leaders follow up on concerns without delay. Confident, knowledgeable staff complete appropriate checks on those adults working or volunteering in school. Pupils speak knowingly about how to stay safe on and offline. The dedicated pupils who form the ‘safety squad’ secure changes to procedure and the premises to ensure everyone is kept safe. "
