WELCOME TO OUR SCHOOL SIXTH FORM LATEST NEWS PARENTS STUDENTS Welcome To Our School HOMEWELCOME TO OUR SCHOOLSAFEGUARDING Safeguarding The Governing Body takes seriously its responsibility under section 175 of the Education Act 2002 to safeguard and promote the welfare of children; and to work together with other agencies to ensure adequate arrangements within our school to identify, assess, and support those children who are suffering from harm. We recognise all adults have a role to play in protecting our students from harm and that the child’s welfare is our paramount concern. All staff believe that our school should provide a caring, positive, safe and stimulating environment that promotes the social, physical and moral development of the individual child. More information regarding safeguarding can be obtained through our policies section of the website or via the Trafford Strategic Safeguarding Partnership. Please click here to be redirected.

The project called Operation Encompass, has been designed to provide early reporting of any domestic abuse incidents that occur outside school, which might have an impact on a child in school. This is communicated through a secure email to school following an incident. The project ensures that at least one member of the school staff, known as the Key Adult, is available to liaise with children’s services and the police and to use the information that has been shared, in confidence. In this way, we aim to support each child who has been involved in, or witnessed, a domestic abuse incident. The Key Adult /s at Stretford Grammar School are: Mrs H. Dolphin (Designated Safeguarding Lead) h.dolphin@stretfordgrammar.com Mr D. Price (Deputy Safeguarding Lead) d.price@stretfordgrammar.com Mr S. Marshall (Director of Sixth Form) s.marshall@stretfordgrammar.com Mr. M. Mullins (Headteacher) You can also contact the Headteacher’s PA who will direct your call in confidence: e.hayes@stretfordgrammar.com If he receives an Encompass notification he will make sure that a person the child trusts is available to help – if the child needs this. Most of the time this support is silent; keeping a careful eye on him or her and making sure the child has a calm school day. The confidential information is ordinarily not shared with all staff, just an agreement on how to help, if needed. All schools have a duty to share any information with other organisations if they feel a child is at risk of being hurt. The Key Adult may contact other organisations. The sharing of information from the police allows the school to be ready to help your child straight away, and it means that parents are aware that the Key Adult knows that something has happened. Parents can come and talk to our Key Adult. The Key Adult can point you towards other people that can help. Our aim is to support children and their families.
