At Shafton Primary Academy, we take safeguarding very seriously. 

We have been awarded the Incyte Platinum Plus award for safeguarding which we are very proud of. It shows the quality of safeguarding in our school.

We have a policy which clearly sets out how we guard everyone's safety in school including worries or concerns we have about religious radicalisation and FGM.

Please click on the links below to read our policies. You are welcome into school at any time to see the policies in print and to talk through any issues, worries and concerns you may have about keeping children safe in school.

We have very strong partnerships with the Barnsley council social care team.

Our named safeguarding lead is Miss D Tallant.

Our named deputy safeguarding leads are Mrs J Charalambous and Miss S Margereson.

You can get in touch anytime on 01226 710386

As well as these names people we have many staff who are also fully trained so there will always be someone to help you.
