Safe to learn

Factors that contribute to a safer learning environment for all pupils

In Northumberland we understand that every child has the right to learn and flourish in a safe, discrimination-free environment. There is evidence to demonstrate that where health and well-being are prioritised that children are most likely to fulfil their potential. 

Schools therefore contribute significantly to improving the life chances of all young people by taking steps to ensure that they are safe to learn. This will be scrutinised during Ofsted inspections through the criteria for evaluating behaviour and safety of pupils at the school as well as the judgement regarding overall effectiveness.
