‘Safer Schools’

Congratulations to Bomere Heath CE Primary School on maintaining the ‘Safer School’ accreditation. The school was accredited a ‘Safer School’ in 2018 and recently Miss Lloyd-Jones (Teacher Lead of the Health and Safety school council), held a ‘Safer School’ meeting to update the school’s involvement in the security/safety initiative. We reviewed security/safety measures, updated an action plan and refreshed the incident reporting process. Part of the ‘Safer Schools’ criteria includes consulting parents/carers/pupils and the results of the two Safer School surveys (parent/carer and pupil) were presented to the meeting. There had been a good response to both surveys and overwhelmingly the feedback was excellent. In support of the surveys, eight pupils attended the Safer School meeting and all were keen to contribute. I was particularly impressed by the hard work of the school in preparation for the Safer School meeting and a future meeting will be scheduled for the Autumn term.
