At Grove Street, keeping children safe is our highest priority. We want every child to feel happy, secure, and cared for at school.
All staff and governors are committed to protecting children from harm and take safeguarding very seriously. We follow clear procedures, work closely with families, and make sure our team is regularly trained so that children are always supported and safe.

Early Help for Families
A range of directories are available via the link below to help families and professionals identify early and self-help resources.
Our safeguarding policies can be found at the bottom of this page.
Our school is part of Operation Encompass.
Operation Encompass is a national police and education early intervention safeguarding partnership which supports children who experience Domestic Abuse.
Operation Encompass is in place in every police force in England and Wales, the Isle of Man, Jersey, Guernsey, Scotland, Northern Ireland and Gibraltar.
Children were recognised as victims of domestic abuse in their own right in the 2021 Domestic Abuse Act.
There is a legislative requirement for police forces to share information with educational settings through Operation Encompass.
Through Operation Encompass the police will share information with our school about ALL police attended domestic abuse incidents which involve any of our children who are related to either of the adults involved in the incident. This sharing of information will occur PRIOR to the start of the next school day. The notification will inform us about the context of the incident and will include the Voice of the Child.
