Safeguarding
As a school, we have a moral and statutory responsibility to safeguard all pupils in our care. We endeavour to provide a safe and welcoming environment where children are valued and respected.
As a staff, we are alert to all signs of abuse and neglect in line with the latest Keeping Children Safe in Education guidelines.

E-Safety
In our increasingly digital world, it is more important than ever that children understand how to be safe online. Whether on computers and laptops, tablets or mobile phones, even the television, children can connect to the internet and interact with the entire world.
At Thurgoland CE Primary School, we recognise that the online world brings enormous benefits to all our lives; research, communication, entertainment and information all at the touch of a button. However it is extremely important children recognise the dangers that can be found online and take steps to avoid, and report these.
Please see the parent tab for more information about keeping safe online, including some helpful parent guides.
Digital Worry Box
If you are concerned about something online you can complete the form below with help from an appropriate adult (parent or carer). A senior member of the Thurgoland team will see your message and will work to support you and your concerns.
NSPCC
I know that this is a difficult and potentially frightening situation for all of us. The NSPCC has asked us to share some links with you. The Childline link is for children and anyway you have of reminding children that ChildLine is there if they need someone to talk to would be fantastic.
More children will be spending time online and will likely talk online to strangers more during this time and we want to keep them safe:
