Safeguarding at Moor End Academy

At Moor End Academy we believe firmly that safeguarding is everyone’s responsibility. Our staff receive regular training to ensure they are updated with any changes in legislation and to ensure that we have the knowledge required to keep our students and staff safe. Our students also benefit from safeguarding training to ensure that they are confident in being able to keep themselves safe. We use CPoms as our recording system and all of our staff are trained in its use and are able to record concerns. An enhanced level is used by the pastoral team and key senior staff. 

We do, however, have a designated safeguarding team which currently consists of a deputy DSL, an early support worker, two members of the senior leadership team and a designated governor. The evidence of the impact and quality of safeguarding at the academy taken from stakeholder feedback is very strong. The team has excellent links with external agencies, works hard to maintain relationships and is well regarded locally; safeguarding is a real strength of the academy. 

You will be supported at the academy and be able to liaise with and be supported by other safeguarding leads within the Trust at termly meetings. We are a vibrant and hard-working team which is extremely passionate about what we do. Should you wish to join and lead this team you will need to have the capacity to work at both an operational and strategic level.

Judged Outstanding in every OFSTED category in 2012 we have a track record of excellence both in terms of student outcomes and professional development.

If you are interested by the prospect of this exciting opportunity, we would be delighted to hear from you.  

Closing date for applications: Monday 23rd September 2019

Successful applicants will be required to undertake a Criminal Record Check via the DBS. The school is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment.

Moor End is a converter Academy that opened on 17th August 2011. We converted as an outstanding school. Prior to this we were a community school. Moor End is a National Support school.  We play a leading role in the training and professional development of teachers and contribute towards the raising of standards across the school system through school to school support.

We are an award winning Academy and have continued to be recognised by Ofsted as ‘outstanding’.  We are a truly inclusive school that welcomes students of all abilities. Our aim is to create a safe, stimulating, ambitious and caring environment to enable our students to thrive and achieve excellence; to make certain our future generation have the self-confidence to use their talents and skills to become the leaders of tomorrow.

Our vision is to maximise every child’s potential to ensure we can confidently say,” we gave every student his or her GCSE passport to success.” We passionately believe, as educators, we have the power and responsibility to inspire our students to be the best they can be to enable our learners to pursue their dreams and become the leaders of tomorrow.

Our motivation is to ensure that positive relationships are at the core of what we do every day, along with high quality teaching and pastoral care overseen by strong leadership. What we believe will follow is a strong ethos, and students with high expectations who demonstrate exceptional behaviour and want to be part of our school community.

We insist on high standards of behaviour, appearance, work ethic and respect for all to enable our staff to teach our students well so they learn to the best of their ability and leave the Academy with a first-class education.

Central to our ethos is the promotion of our ‘every day’ 3 Core Values: Respect, Ambition and Responsibility, which underpin everything we do on a daily basis.

1.  Respect

We are well behaved and considerate to all staff and students in our learning community.

2.  Ambition

We are hardworking and have an ambitious attitude to succeed and achieve.

3.  Responsibility

We take ownership and act with integrity; we always do the right thing.

We want to expand our family of committed and skilled people, who will directly benefit the future of the next generation. If you wish to discuss any of the opportunities we have on offer, please contact us at jharrison@edu.moorend.org or call 01484 222230.

We look forward to hearing from you.
