Wimborne First School Prospectus

Health and Wellbeing Safeguarding Our first priority is your child’s welfare and we will usually discuss any concerns we might have about your child with you. There might be occasions, however, when we have to provide information to or consult with other agencies such as Children’s Social Care before we contact you. Our responsibility to do so is determined by Bournemouth, Dorset and Poole Inter-Agency Safeguarding Procedures. If you want to know more about these procedures or the school’s child protection procedures, please speak to the Headteacher. A copy of the Child Protection Policy is available from the school office or on the school’s website. For further information, please visit the Dorset Safeguarding Childrens Board website: www.dorsetlscb.co.uk Any concerns ? Please be assured that we listen and take your concerns very seriously. If you are worried about any aspect of your child’s school life, please discuss your concerns with the class teacher, year leader or with the Headteacher. If you feel that your concerns have not been adequately addressed, you have the right to contact the school’s Governing Body. Please see the school website for the complaints policy. If you have any safeguarding concerns then please contact the school office on 01202 882532 or office@wimbornefirst.dorset.sch.uk The DSL’s for Wimborne First School & Nursery are:- Lead DSL - Mrs Hartley Deputy DSL - Mrs Pritchard, Mrs Rees and Mrs Harmer, Miss Allen, Mrs Edwards Deputy DSL - Mrs Shaw and Miss Thomas for Kingfishers Pupil Premium Your child could benefit from extra funding per year with pupil premium. Pupil premium is additional funding given to publicly funded schools in England to raise the attainment of disadvantaged pupils and close the gap between them and their peers. Pupil premium helps to ensure all eligible children have full access to enrichment opportunities through various sources to enhance their learning through one or some of the following: • Working in smaller groups • Assistance financially with school trips • Access to funding for school uniform • Hot lunch every day • Funding for extra-curricular activities such as music lessons. Is your child eligible? Provide the school with your surname, date of birth and national insurance number and we can check for you. By applying for pupil premium you are helping the school receive additional funding. This income is fed directly into your child’s learning programme. By applying and being eligible, your child will benefit tremendously from these additional funds received by the school.
