Wincham Family & Friends Summer Fair

Parking

Please do not park at the bus stop at the end of the school day.  Year 4 children who had been to their swimming lessons at Brio were 10 minutes late back into school on Wednesday because the bus had nowhere to park.  

Wherever possible, please park using the roads around school and walk the final 5 minutes.

Keeping children safe & supporting families

Staying well and safe is at the heart of everything we do at Wincham.  Children cannot learn if all their other needs are not met.  Therefore we work with a range of partners and other services to ensure the wellbeing of children and staff, enabling everyone to get the very best out of their time at school.

As part of our work to ensure good mental health for all, we have published our Wellbeing Commitment for Children, as well as our Wellbeing Commitment for staff as part of the Staff Wellbeing policy.  In addition, we have signed up to the Department for Education's Staff Wellbeing Charter.

We believe that with the actions from the children's and staff's wellbeing charters in place, the vast majority of children will flourish in their time at school.

Sometimes, children need a little extra help and support.  Issues can crop up where children don't yet have the tools to deal with them, such as bereavement, coping when parents separate, or a complex medical condition.  When this happens, we can support in school.  Ms Boag-Munroe is our Family Support Worker and is trained as an Emotional Literacy Support Assistant.  Ms Boag Munroe can put in place short term support for children who are finding things difficult including Lego therapy, drawing and talking, social circles and a range of other bespoke approaches.  We also work with qualified play therapists and art therapists as appropriate.

Sometimes families can need more support.  Our Safeguarding team has responsibility for dealing with safeguarding and child protection concerns at Wincham Community Primary School, and act as a source of support, advice and expertise within school. 

For questions or concerns about safeguarding at Wincham Community Primary School, please speak to Mr Boot, Mr Bounds or Ms Boag-Munroe.  Mr Boot, Mr Bounds and Ms Boag-Munroe receive Cheshire West and Chester Local Authority's Level 3 Safeguarding training for designated safeguarding leads.  Members of the Senior Leadership Team and governors also receive Safer Recruitment training.  

All staff have regular safeguarding training led by Mr Boot in line with guidance from Cheshire West and Chester Local Safeguarding Children Board

Our school's safeguarding procedures are supported and audited by the Local Authority.

As part of the Safeguarding work, this week we have shared our Child Friendly Safeguarding statement with the children.  This was drawn up by the School Council last year, and explains at the right level, that if there are concerns for the children, we are here to help.
