Child Protection
The school has a responsibility to take reasonable action to ensure the welfare and safety of our pupils. In

cases where the school staff have cause to be concerned that a pupil may be subject to ill treatment,
neglect or other forms of abuse, staff will follow the procedures set out in Keeping Children Safe in
Education 2016.
The school has a Child Protection Policy which is available from the school office.

Designated Person for Child Protection: Miss L Moore
Deputy Designated Person(s) Mrs J Williams & Mrs J Costello
Safeguarding Governor Mrs S Bailey

Article 27: Every child has the right to a standard of living that is good enough to meet their physical,
social and mental needs..

Behaviour, Discipline and Rewards
“Pupils at this school are calm and orderlyl” DfE Visit 2015.

We all agree that good behaviour helps children learn
more easily. For this reason, we expect the highest
standards of behaviour and discipline from all our children. Our aim is to celebrate
good attitudes and reinforce positive behaviour. One of the ways we do this is through
Marvellous Me. However, we are aware that a clear procedure of sanctions is
sometimes necessary to deal with unacceptable behaviour and we actively seek
support from parents or carers when an incident of unacceptable behaviour occurs.
We ask all parents to support us and, when necessary, come into school to discuss
issues with us. Our school recognises that bullying may exist and has a clear policy which aims to support

the victims and challenge the instigators of bullying.
School rules are displayed in every classroom, stairwell and corridor. We expect children to follow school
rules and to take personal responsibility for ensuring they are kept.

Lead Behaviour Professional: Mrs Fields

Article 29: It must encourage the child's respect for human rights, as well as respect for their parents,
their own and others cultures and the environment.

Transfer to Secondary School
Children transfer to secondary school at the end of Year 6. It is the parents’ responsibility to complete
transfer forms within the specified timescales. Mandale Mill follows procedures set out in the Local
Authority transition guidelines. If your child is entitled to a free school meal at primary school, they will
automatically receive one on their transition days. Y6 pupils complete transition days/weeks from the

beginning of July. Further details are available during the summer term.

Charging and Remission of Charges
As mentioned elsewhere, many educational visits or visitors coming into school are subsidised from the
school budget or PTA. Money from the school fund and parents' voluntary contributions are needed
