Safeguarding

At Oxley, the safety and wellbeing of every child are at the heart of everything we do. We believe all children have the right to learn, grow and flourish in a caring, supportive and secure environment.

Safeguarding is everyone’s responsibility and is firmly embedded within the culture of our school. Our staff remain vigilant, recognise when a child may need help and confidently follow the correct safeguarding procedures. This helps our children feel safe, supported and ready to learn. Through our curriculum, we also equip pupils with the knowledge and skills they need to recognise risks, make safe choices and protect themselves now and in the future.

Our Governing Body and staff are committed to protecting children from all forms of harm, including abuse, bullying, discrimination and harassment. We take all reasonable steps to minimise risks to pupils’ welfare and ensure concerns are acted upon promptly. Any concerns about a child are shared with our Safeguarding Team, whose members are trained Designated Safeguarding Leads within the school.

Any concerns can be raised through any member of the safeguarding team by emailing DSL@oxleyprimary.org

We are an Operation Encompass school.

This is an initiative developed with Leicestershire Police to ensure that the school will be informed before the start of the next school day when a child or young person has been involved or exposed to a domestic abuse We are an Operation Encompass school incident the previous evening. This will enable the school to sensitively and appropriately support the child and family to ensure they feel safe and secure after an incident of domestic abuse.

If you wish to find out further information about Operation Encompass, please do contact the school and ask to speak to Mr. Caldwell who is our Operation Encompass key adult.

Oxley Primary School is committed to the welfare and safety of all our children in school. We have strict rules on the recruitment of teachers and ensure that all adults that work with us are vetted through the Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS).

Wellbeing at the Heart of Oxley

At Oxley, we believe that positive mental health and wellbeing are essential for every child to feel safe, happy and ready to learn. Our curriculum supports the development of the whole child—spiritually, physically, emotionally and morally—while recognising that every child is unique. By providing positive early experiences and a caring, inclusive environment, we help children develop confidence, resilience, emotional awareness and the skills needed to thrive throughout their lives.

Mental health and wellbeing are a shared responsibility across #TeamOxley. Through our PSHE curriculum, Zones of Regulation, Everyone’s Welcome programme and pupil Wellbeing Ambassadors, children learn to understand their emotions, celebrate difference and seek help when they need it. We work closely with families and encourage anyone with concerns to speak to their child’s class teacher or a member of our pastoral and safeguarding team. Our brochure also provides trusted sources of advice and support for children, parents and carers.
