Our children’s safety is of the utmost importance to us and we work hard to keep them safe.
All of our staff receive regular safeguarding training. We have trained Designated Safeguard Leads (DSL) in school;
Samantha Dunne is the DSL
Ellena Mortimer is our Deputy DSL
Cathy Shergold is the Governance member of the Local Schools Board with responsibility for Safeguarding.
We encourage anyone with a safeguarding concern to contact one of our safeguarding team.
If we have reasonable cause for concern that a child maybe at risk of significant harm, we will refer to social care. This referral can be made with or without us informing parents.
For further information please read our Child Protection policy and other policies that support Safeguarding. These are available in our Information Hub under the tab ‘Policies’ – or contact one of our safeguarding team.
Please find here the 2022 Keeping Children Safe in Education Document

Working Together to Safegaurd Children
Valuing all God’s Children -Church Of England
At the heart of the work of every primary school class is a continuous cycle of planning, teaching and assessment which takes account of the wide range of abilities, aptitudes and interests of the children. The majority of children will learn and progress within these arrangements. Those children whose overall attainments and achievement in specific subjects fall significantly outside the expected range may have Special Educational Needs (SEN).
For children who have a specific learning difficulty or a disability, our Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) policy outlines the educational support we provide.
If a teacher notices a pupil experiencing difficulties with their learning they will seek guidance from the school Special Educational Needs and Disabilities Co-ordinator (SENDCo).
Our SENDCo is Ellie Mortimer
Advice will be given, which may include alternate strategies to support the pupils learning. Both class teacher and SENDCo will hold a meeting with parents to discuss next steps which could include:
Advise parents to make an appointment to see the GP
Referral to the Speech and Language Therapist service
Referral to the Specialist Teacher Team
Referral to Educational Psychologist service
Referral to EWMHS (Emotional Welfare and Mental Health Services)
When a child is placed on the Special Educational Needs register, consultation with parents will continue through:
Parent consultation day.
One Plan meetings at least twice a year, working alongside pupils, parents and sometimes specialist agencies to set specific targets that work towards achieving a long-term goal.
For pupils with a Statement/ Education Health Care plan (EHC Plan) Annual Review meetings.

Policy for Inclusion and Equal Opportunities in Learning
Here at Colne Engaine Church of England Primary School, our aim is to care for and develop the whole child educationally, emotionally, spiritually, morally and physically. Positive Mental health and wellbeing is essential to enable our children to make life long, well informed decisions and engage in the world around them.
Through our curriculum and school activities, we teach children how to maintain positive mental health and where they can go if they need help and support. Our carefully planned approach to PSHE supports our pupils to acquire the knowledge and develop the skills and understanding they need to lead confident, healthy, independent lives, and to become resilient, informed and responsible citizens.
At Colne Engaine, we are committed to creating a happy, caring and supportive environment. As well as a learning environment, the school ensures there is a positive, supportive and inclusive ethos where children can thrive as part of a vibrant community of happy, confident learners, guided by our core Christian values, who believe they can make a difference in our world now and in the future.
Personal, Social and Health Education (PSHE) is a central to the curriculum across the whole school. Our curriculum helps children and young people to understand their own and others’ emotions, develop healthy coping strategies and seek appropriate support. And talking openly about mental health issues is an effective means of breaking down any associated stigma.
Teaching about mental health and emotional wellbeing is also now a requirement as part of statutory Health Education. We teach the content safely, sensitively and in a way that’s appropriate to our children’s age or stage of development. Within school, we offer Emotional First Aid Provision and support and within the National Curriculum, every child has a minimum of two hours of physical education each week. We promote healthy eating throughout the school and continue to access outside help and support for pupils when required.
