It’s been a very busy week but ensuring all staff are as empowered as they can be to keep children safe is worth the hard work!
Absolute pleasure delivering this today! Thank you for your valuable input, excellent questions and quality reflections throughout the safeguarding session.
Welcome to @LEOacademies. 😀

A parent at @WestAshtead shared:
“My son used to struggle to get his thoughts down, getting frustrated. With talk-to-text on a Chromebook, he can now express himself properly - and even enjoys his homework.”

A great start to day 2 of our ‘New to DSL’ training course.
Yesterday delegates explored:
➡️the role of the DSL
➡️safeguarding culture
➡️importance of multiagency
partnerships
➡️signs and indicators.
They finished the session exploring a case study & considering risks.
Mrs Harrysec retweeted
Day 2 of our ‘New to DSL’ training is underway and delegates are now completing a referral form, considering the process social care teams have to go through with thresholds & preparing themselves for an ICPC where they will take on the various multi agency roles.
Mrs Harrysec retweeted
Having time to reflect at the end of the day gave delegates a chance to think about the impact of the training.
Thank you all for embracing every task and demonstrating a keen enthusiasm for learning.

We are pleased to be welcoming @GC_learning, an award winning company, to support Year 6’s across the @LEOacademies to recognise the signs of child criminal exploitation & county lines. Such good preparation as they prepare to transition to secondary school and key life skills.
Our Town hosted an incredible, immersive drama workshop for our Year 6s, spotlighting the serious risks of child criminal exploitation. Vital learning delivered powerfully as the children prepare for high school!
#WeAreLEO🦁
So pleased to be partnering with @GC_learning on this project. Such vital life lessons for our eldest pupils.
We are always looking for new ways to prepare them for the next phase of education.
Another great day at @HurstParkSchool with @GC_learning. A brilliant performance followed by some thought provoking workshops about the real life risks faced by young people today.
This is all part of our commitment to ensure a responsive and well planned Safeguarding Curriculum

Y6 children from schools across @LEOacademies are just home from Denmark. As part of the #TuringScheme, they've explored Billund, visiting @LEGO_Group Campus, LEGO House & LEGOLAND, as well as meeting the team from @LEGO_Education. What an adventure they’ve had! #LEODenmark25 🇩🇰
So proud of this feedback! What more could you ask for!
Genuinely passionate about supporting a very challenging role in schools.
So proud of the passion and dedication of all of my team of DSLs across @LEOacademies 👏
What a fantastic opportunity!
Twenty three Year 6 children from schools across @LEOacademies are on their way to Denmark with @British_Airways. As part of the #TuringScheme, they'll explore Billund, with visits to @LEGO_Education, Billund Skolen, LEGO House & much more. #LEODenmark25. What an adventure! 🇩🇰
So proud of my little team today! 15 miles, 35,000 steps- remembering Grandad on his 7 year anniversary and thinking of our special ones still fighting the fight today!
It’s a great cause that means SO much and we are so grateful to have contributed £1200 today! 👏
A great reminder to us all as we start a new term!
IMO, we can still get the best out of people and hold them to account whilst being kind! 👏
Residentials provide some of the best experiences for children to grow! As an educator it is a joy watch,but they are also exhausting and demanding!
A big thank you to the amazing staff at @CFPSchool for giving up your time to make this possible! We are truly grateful!
