Keeping Children Safe

Keeping children safe is everyone’s responsibility. Here at Five Islands Academy we have an experienced and caring staff team who work together with this aim.

Key staff for safeguarding:

Rachel Gibb

Designated Safeguarding Lead (DSL)

Rachel Lewin

Deputy Designated Safeguarding Lead – St Mary’s

Maddy Hicks

Deputy Designated Safeguarding lead – St Mary’s & St Agnes

Emily Banfield

Deputy Designated Safeguarding lead – St Mary’s

Jackie Marshall

Deputy Designated Safeguarding lead – St Martin’s

We operate a “no wrong door” policy where a child can approach any member of the academy staff if they have a problem or concern.

Please ensure that Five Islands Academy holds the contact information for at least two different people. Any changes to addresses, phone numbers and other contact details should be communicated to Mrs Thomas (beththomas@fiveislands.org) so that your child’s information is current.

If you give overnight parental responsibility to another relative or family friend while you are away from the islands for any reason, please inform Reception of these temporary arrangements so that we know who to contact should this be needed.
