What This School Does Well
St Paul's creates a safe, caring community where pupils feel happy and belong. Staff are attentive to children's worries and concerns, using effective systems to support them. The school actively involves governors in safeguarding oversight and has strong partnerships with local authority services to support vulnerable pupils and families.
Key Strengths
- Safeguarding arrangements are effective and pupils feel safe and happy at school
- Strong relationships across year groups, gender and ethnic groups with very good behaviour
- Staff vigilant in identifying safeguarding concerns and making timely referrals when needed
- Thorough checks on staff, volunteers and governors
- Governors consistently review safeguarding matters and hold staff accountable
Areas for Improvement
- Need to strengthen staff training on key safeguarding issues including Prevent, female genital mutilation and child sexual exploitation
- Curriculum provision on keeping safe requires greater breadth and depth - pupils lack understanding of e-safety, bullying, sexual exploitation and drugs
- Recording systems for safeguarding concerns lack consistency - not all records properly signed, dated or include information on actions taken
- Several school policies have lapsed and need updating, including behaviour management and equalities policies
- Information on child protection and safeguarding training records should be presented in a clearer format
Safeguarding
Safeguarding arrangements are effective with thorough staff checks and vigilant reporting, though curriculum provision and staff training on key safeguarding issues require strengthening.
St Paul's Church of England Primary School is a smaller than average primary school serving a diverse community with above-average numbers of pupils from minority ethnic backgrounds and high proportions of English as a second language speakers. The school's safeguarding arrangements are effective, though wider aspects of safeguarding work require strengthening.
