Safeguarding and Wellbeing

All organisations that work with or come into contact with children should have safeguarding policies and procedures to ensure that every child, regardless of their age, disability, gender reassignment, race, religion or belief, sex, or sexual orientation, has a right to equal protection from harm. Tenterfields Primary Academy is committed to keeping children safe.

Anti-Bullying

We are very proud to be part of The Diana Award Anti-Bullying Ambassador scheme. Following on from our fantastic training, where four children attended the Anti-Bullying Ambassador training over two days, we have now extended our team and have launched our Anti-Bullying Ambassadors team in school.

We have a team of ten pupils from Years 1 to Year 6, who have taken on this very important role in our school. As ambassadors, our students are on duty at break and lunchtimes, being a friend to those children who may need it. They will help to organise special days such as friendship and kindness days and they will lead assemblies, such as the Anti-Bullying week assembly.
