Discovery Primary Academy is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and expects all staff, governors and volunteers to share this commitment.

At Discovery, there is nothing more important to us than the physical and emotional health and well-being of our pupils and staff alike. 

You can contact or speak to your child’s class teacher after school, speak to a member of the Senior Leadership Team or our Safeguarding Lead, all of whom are happy to talk through any concerns or worries you may have.

We have a number of policies and procedures in place that contribute to our safeguarding commitment, including our Child Protection Policy. This can be found at the bottom of this page.

At times, we may need to share information, get advice or work in partnership with other agencies if we are concerned about a child’s welfare. We believe it is always better to be transparent with all parties at these times and work together to achieve the best outcomes.

There may be times when you need extra help and support. If this is the case, please come and talk to us. There are many ways in which we can help.

The Academy has a safeguarding team led by the Designated Safeguarding Lead, Mrs Claire Freeman and Deputy Safeguarding Lead, Mrs Sue Antill.
