SAFEGUARDING

We at Grass Royal take Safeguarding responsibilities very seriously. This means that we have ensured (and will continue to do so) that everyone working in the school has successfully completed the necessary clearances to enable them to work with your children. It also means that we have a staff member who is specially trained and nominated as the Designated Child Protection Person with the school. This person is Judith Barrett, Headteacher.

We would always hope to share any concerns we may have about your child with you, at the first opportunity as we hope you do with us about your, or any other child. Part of our legal duty to safeguard your children, may also include us needing to consult with and take advice from other agencies such as the Police, Children's Social Care, should the need arise.

By working closely together with you and our partner agencies, we firmly believe that we will continue to offer a safe learning environment for all our children.

ADMISSION CRITERIA

Each new year group starting in September has a Planned Admissions Number (PAN). This is set annually after consultation between the Education Authority and the Governors of the school. The school can offer places up to this limit. The PAN's aim is to ensure that schools and the Education Service as a whole are run efficiently and that there is no waste of resources. This may mean that at some schools there are not enough places for all the children whose parents would like them to go.

The LEA is the admission authority for this school and places are allocated in accordance with the published arrangements. A copy of these arrangements can be obtained by ringing "Somerset Direct," on 0845 6045555. All calls are charged at local rates.
