Safeguarding in the Early Years at Our School
At our school, we are dedicated to maintaining the highest standards of safeguarding within the Early Years (EY) setting. Our Early Years Designated Safeguarding Lead (EYDSL) works in close partnership with the whole-school Designated Safeguarding Lead (DSL) to provide expert oversight and support for our youngest children.
Our safeguarding practices include clear and comprehensive intimate care policies and procedures, thorough risk assessments tailored specifically to the EY environment, and regular safeguarding training for all staff. This ensures that our team is well-informed, confident, and prepared to protect every child.
We also educate our Early Years children about protective behaviours in an age-appropriate manner. This helps them understand how to stay safe, recognise when they need help, and confidently seek support when necessary.
Additionally, we work closely with new parents, providing guidance and support on safeguarding their children both in and out of school, ensuring a safe and secure environment for all.
Connect with Sathorn
Yesterday at St Andrews Sathorn, we invited our Early Years parents to join their children in the classroom for a special “Stay and Play” session! It was a wonderful morning filled with laughter, creativity, and learning through play.
Why do we have stay and play?
🌟 It gives parents a wonderful opportunity to see how their child learns through play — exploring, creating, and discovering alongside their friends and teachers.
🌟 Children feel proud and excited to share their learning and school environment with someone special from home.
🌟 It’s also a fantastic way to strengthen the connection between home and school, building a shared understanding of each child’s unique learning journey.
🌟 Research shows that when families take part in early learning experiences, children develop stronger social skills, better communication, and a deeper love of learning.
Thank you to all the parents who were able to join us — we loved seeing you play, learn, and have fun together!
