Safeguarding
Petham Primary School is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of all children, and requires staff, volunteers and visitors to share this commitment.
On our school leadership team we have four trained Designated Safeguarding staff members.
Our Designated Safeguarding Leads (DSLs) is:
Mr Scott Guy – Executive Headteacher headteacher@petham.kent.sch.uk
Mr James Higgins - Head of School headofschool@petham.kent.sch.uk
Our Deputies are:
- Mrs Belinda Metcalfe - SENDCO
- Miss Nicola Mayes - Class Teacher
- Miss Hannah Beasley - Family Liaison Officer
The role of a DSL is to ensure that our pupils are safe both in and outside of school. If you have any worries or concerns about a situation that your child, or any other, is facing, please do not hesitate to contact us.
If your concerns relate to the actions or behaviour of a member of staff, then you should report this to one of the DSLs in confidence, (or to the CEO David Whitehead and Trust Safeguarding Lead Sarah Baker, if the concern relates to the Head of School or Executive Headteacher) who will consider what action to take.
