Safeguarding

The safety and well-being of our pupils are always our highest priority.
At Studley Green Primary School, our safeguarding leads are:

• Will Orr – DSL, Assistant Headteacher
• Jon Berry – DDSL, Headteacher, Designated Teacher for Looked-After and Previously Looked-After Children
• Sarah Inman – DDSL, Assistant Headteacher
• Anne Vinicombe-Taylor – DDSL, Pastoral Lead, Mental Health Lead
• Temina Brown – Therapeutic Mentor

Our safeguarding governor is Martin Sandford.

All staff are trained to identify and report any concerns that may suggest a child’s safety or well-being is at risk. We ask that anyone visiting the school who has a concern about the safety or well-being of a child raises it immediately with one of the safeguarding leads.
The safeguarding team can be contacted at: safeguarding@studleygreen.equamead.org

The school works closely with Wiltshire Council’s safeguarding teams via the Multi-Agency Safeguarding Hub (MASH), which serves as a single point of contact for all safeguarding concerns regarding children and young people in Wiltshire.

Anyone can report a concern to MASH by calling 0300 456 0108.

Online safety

The internet and technology offer wonderful benefits for learners, and most children use them safely.
However, while the internet provides a wealth of opportunities, it also presents risks that could potentially lead to harm.
At Studley Green, we take internet safety very seriously. It is taught throughout the school as part of our curriculum. At home, we encourage parents and carers to take a balanced approach to their children’s online safety. Doing nothing can lead to problems, but a heavy-handed approach may make children more determined to do the opposite of what they’re told.
A combination of monitoring and control through parental software, balanced with age-appropriate education and guidance, can go a long way toward keeping children’s digital lives safe and happy.

Protecting your child from cyberbullying

Digital Citizenship Curriculum

In our computing lessons, we use the Common Sense Media Digital Citizenship Curriculum to teach pupils how to stay safe, respectful, and responsible online. Through age-appropriate lessons, children learn about media balance, online safety, digital identity, and respectful communication, helping them become confident digital citizens.

Be Internet Legends

To make the most of the internet, children need to make smart decisions. At Studley Green, we want children to become Internet Legends. Be Internet Legends empowers younger children to use the web safely and wisely, so they can be confident explorers of the online world.
