Safeguarding at East Leake Academy

The safety and wellbeing of our students is our absolute priority, and is taken very seriously at East Leake Academy. Together with providing exceptional pastoral care, we are proactive in ensuring all students have information and knowledge to keep them safe at the academy and online. This includes methods for communicating with us if students and families have a concern.

We recognise the importance of positive mental health and actively work with students to create an open dialogue about mental health and wellbeing. Our student counsellor works closely with the pastoral team to ensure that support is given to students who need it.

If you have any concerns about a student at our academy, or general questions about safeguarding, please do not hesitate to contact us.
