Safeguarding 

At King's Academy Northern Parade, safeguarding is more than just a policy or a checklist, it’s about people. It’s about knowing our children; recognising when something doesn’t feel right, and building the kind of community where everyone feels seen, heard, and safe.

This term, we’re proud to announce the appointment of our new Safeguarding Ambassadors. These pupils will play an important role in helping us create a culture of care across the school, supporting peers, modelling kindness, and reminding everyone that looking out for each other is everyone’s responsibility.

Our staff team have also been taking part in ongoing safeguarding training, focusing on professional curiosity and effective reporting in line with Keeping Children Safe in Education (KCSIE). This means every adult in our school understands how to notice small changes, ask the right questions, and take action when needed.

We’re continuing to strengthen our safeguarding culture; one that reaches out to those who need it most, offers support without judgement, and validates how people feel. Because safeguarding isn’t just about keeping children safe on paper - it’s about creating an environment where every child and adult belongs, and where help is always within reach.

With that in mind, I would like to warmly welcome you to our Cosy Coffee Morning next week on the 14th October at 11am. Please see the flyer below - you are all so very welcome.
