SNOW: (8/1/2025) Unfortunately due to overnight freezing temperatures and external groundwork providers being unable to access school site the Academy will open at the slightly later time of 10:00am for all year groups. Children should arrive no later than 10:15am. Year 11 children undertaking BTEC sports exam should attend school at the normal time of 8:25am. Children who access the school bus should continue to do so at the normal time. This will operate as usual and those children arriving at school will be supervised. Teams are onsite now to clear standing sheets of ice from external areas used for safe fire evacuation points. Our children’s safety is paramount and ensuring a safe evaluation of 1000 children if required is priority. The work undertaken today will hopefully eradicate any delayed school start in the future. We are sorry for any inconvenience caused and we thank you for your continued support.

Safeguarding

‘Wingfield Academy recognises it’s moral and statutory responsibilities to safeguard and promote the welfare of our young people. We endeavour to provide an environment where everyone feels safe and is respected and valued. We will be alert to the signs of abuse and neglect and will follow procedures rigorously to ensure effective support, protection and justice is offered to our students.’

At Wingfield Academy we fully embrace the principle that the welfare of the child is paramount and that it is the responsibility of all adults (including other commissioned or contracted staff) to safeguard our young people, ensuring that they receive the right help at the right time.

For this to happen, all of us take our role in identifying concerns early, sharing information and taking prompt, informed action very seriously.

Staff work with vigilance towards our shared objectives:

To provide a safe environment for young people to learn, minimise risks of harm and endeavour to keep them safe from abuse and injury.

How do we keep students safe?

  • Having up to date and working policy documents
  • Check the suitability of all our staff who work the students
  • Encourage students to tell us if something is wrong
  • Adhere to health and safety regulations
  • Train all our staff how to recognise and respond to child welfare and safeguarding concerns
  • Have a Designated Lead Officer (DSO) who leads the Safeguarding and Child Protection Team
  • Work in partnership with parents and carers
  • Share information with appropriate agencies
