Safeguarding And Child Protection

West Wimbledon Primary School takes seriously its responsibility to protect and safeguard the welfare of children in its care. Please read the following documents carefully, to see how we put that overarching aim into practice.

The Designated Safeguarding Lead is Meghan Peatey. The school’s safeguarding governor is Chris Tregilgas. Rosie Williamson, Monika Dennemont, Alison Lea and Kishani Vijay are members of the school’s safeguarding team.

We recognise that safeguarding against radicalisation is no different from safeguarding against any other vulnerability. At West Wimbledon Primary School all staff are expected to uphold and promote our British values, including democracy, the rule of law, individual liberty and mutual respect, and tolerance of those with different faiths and beliefs.

Our Child Protection and Safeguarding policy can be found on the school POLICIES page

Visitors in School

We are vigilant in ensuring that every person who comes in to School, whether it is to teach, to train staff, to work on the building, to clean it, to cook or to visit does so with safety of the children paramount in our thinking. Therefore, all visitors – including parents – going beyond the School’s reception have to sign in and have their identities checked and verified.
