At Wickersley Partnership Trust, we are committed to maintaining a nurturing environment where all students, staff, and visitors feel valued, respected, and protected. Our safeguarding policies and procedures are rigorously upheld to promote a culture of safeguarding awareness and vigilance. We work collaboratively with students, parents, and external agencies to foster a culture of openness, trust, and support. Together, we endeavor to create a safe and secure learning environment where everyone can thrive and achieve their full potential.

Safeguarding Policies

Every school has a school specific safeguarding policy that meets the statutory requirements, including Keeping Children Safe in Education and covers the context of the school. These policies are updated on an annual basis and are checked by the safeguarding lead for the Trust.

Emotional Health & Wellbeing (Secondaries)

The emotional health and wellbeing of our students is a key focus at Wickersley Partnership Trust. In Summer 2024, we opted to replace our general Trust wellbeing resource, Aware, with a more bespoke, school focused approach. We have compiled together a list of useful websites and resources that are easily accessible via each school’s website. On here, you can also find support for parents, online safety information, and information on anti-bullying. Click on your school logo to find out more information.
