Repton Primary School is fully committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of all its pupils. All staff follow the guidance set out in the document 'Keeping Children Safe in Education 2025' (in the 'policies' section below).

This ensures our children are safe from neglect and abuse (physical, emotional and sexual) and are free from incidences of bullying.

What Ofsted said about Safeguarding at Repton Primary in January 2025:

"There are warm relationships between pupils and staff. Pupils feel valued, safe and secure. They are cheerful and polite. Pupils behave well in lessons and during social times. Classrooms are calm places."

We are committed to giving our children the skills to keep safe at home and school and often invite in visitors to support this. We want our children to have the skills to challenge gender stereotypes and to recognise that domestic violence is never acceptable.

The teaching of e-safety skills is an essential element of our curriculum and we give children the skills to keep safe on line and to be able to deal with any incidences of cyber bullying. School has a robust system in place to ensure there is the most up to date filtering and monitoring in place to prevent harmful websites being accessed or accessing our school. 

As a school we recognise that safeguarding against radicalisation is no different from safeguarding against any other vulnerability and as a result staff have been trained in Prevent (updated March 2024).

At Repton Primary School all staff are expected to uphold and promote our Fundamental British Values. Our staff also have a duty of care to ensure that discrimination never happens against the protected characteristics set out in the 2010 Equality Act.
