Safeguarding at SAF

Additional Safeguarding Measures at SAF    

 

We have introduced some new safeguarding measures in the main entrance as you come into school. We have installed a set of lockers where we will ask visitors / parents to lock their phones securely away if they are attending a meeting so that they are unable to be used when inside the school. You will be responsible for the key for your locker and must keep hold of this during your time in school.

 

 

Parents who are attending reading morning or a class assembly must make sure that their phones are away in a pocket or a bag and not being used to record – if you are witnessed doing this you may be asked to leave.

 

We have also added some concern slips so that if any visitors or parents see or hear anything that might be a  safeguarding concern whilst inside the school, you can record this down. These can be completed and handed into the main office where a DSL will action them. These cannot be anonymous.

We appreciate your understanding and cooperation.

Walsall Art Gallery Visit

A group of children have had a wonderful visit to the art gallery today. It has supported their engagement with the outside world and brought art to life in a very thought provoking way. Their progress in both knowledge and skills was directly related to their experiences in the workshop and art collections.

We were all in awe seeing artwork by famous artists such as Matisse, Van Gogh, Constable, Turner and Picasso.

Attendance Week!!

Our attendance week last focused on attendance and punctuality. All of our classes tried really hard and we had many classes that achieved 100% each day; lots of classes achieved over our 96% target too.

Our Year-to-Date overall attendance is: 95.56% which is below our school target of 96% but above the National Average of 93%.

I wonder if we can get above 96% before the end of the Summer term??

Our Year-to-Date persistent absence is significantly below National Average at 7.5% which is fantastic!

We are currently ranked 14/54 schools in Telford and Wrekin!

Well done for amazing attendance last week – let’s keep it up this week… I’d love to get 100% for the whole school one day 🙂

Attendance Week – Day 2
