At Rowan Gate Primary School, we are whole heartedly committed to providing a safe and happy environment for your child to learn in. 

We consider safeguarding our absolute priority and seek to follow the Northamptonshire Safeguarding Children Partnership (NSCP) procedures rigorously. These procedures can be found here.

We adhere closely to the guidance detailed in Keeping Children Safe in Education (KCSIE) a copy of which can be found here. KCSIE is updated annually and our safeguarding policy is adjusted accordingly.  

Staff and governors receive online safeguarding training on appointment. This is refreshed annually through the National College and supplemented with face to face and Teams training throughout the academic year. 

As part of the school provision, we can support with Early Help, welfare calls and liaison with other professionals involved in your child’s development. Please do not hesitate in contacting our Family Support Workers if we can help you. 

You can read more about Early Help here and here.
