Safeguarding Green Valley staff are committed to safeguarding our school community. Safeguarding means;
Protecting children from abuse and maltreatment Preventing harm to children’s health or development Ensuring children grow up with the provision of safe and effective care Taking action to enable all children and young people to have the best outcomes
Safeguarding is everyone’s responsibility and all adults have a duty of care to keep students safe from harm. Laura Kerr (lkerr@standrews-schools.com) is our Designated Safeguarding Lead and a number of staff are also trained to an advanced level. If you have a concern about the safety of a child, please do not hesitate to contact Laura Kerr or a member of Senior Management.
English as an Additional Language (EAL) We currently have up to one fifth of our students (both primary and secondary) on the EAL register. These students are classified into Beginners, Intermediate and Advanced users. Four teachers are employed to meet the needs of the school population. Bill Minty is the EAL coordinator and he works along-side teachers supporting these students. He can be contacted at wminty@standrews-schools.com if you wish to discuss any issue in regard to EAL.
Within the Secondary School, where there is a need, students may be taken out of a particular subject such as History or PSHE to give them extra EAL support.
Learning Support Learning Supports caters for students who are:
Educationally able – Gifted and Talented
Students who need support to achieve benchmark expectations.
The numbers of students registered continually changes as does their need for support. Laura Kerr is the Learning Support coordinator lkerr@standrews-schools.com and works along-side teachers supporting these students. There is a specific process that teachers are required to follow in regard to learning support and parents are involved once several intervention strategies have been tried with little success. Within the Secondary School, where there is a need, students may be taken out of a particular subject such as History or PSHE to give them extra learning support.
