Safeguarding during current restrictions

Derrymount School Covid-19 policy

At Derrymount the safety of pupils continues to be of paramount importance.
Our Designated Safeguarding Leads are: Cathy Clay, Coral Painter and Shirley Burman. One of us will be in school whenever there are pupils onsite and are available to discuss any concerns on the Churchmoor site’s phone number 0115 9534015. If the school is closed on particular days Cathy can be contacted by email: head@derrymount.notts.sch.uk

Support

We will continue contacting families on a weekly basis to keep in touch – in the first instance by phone but if we haven’t managed to speak to you we will email instead. We are aware that this is an anxious time for pupils and their families so please do contact us if you feel you need support.

Cyber Safety

At this time, when pupils are likely to be accessing the internet / social media more frequently, it is more important than ever to be aware of cyber safety.

As well as information on our website the following may be particularly useful to support families:
