Pupils at Cheadle Hulme School are safeguarded by a system of supervision which ensures that staff are present and monitoring pupils whenever they are in the School’s care; including during the School day, on School sporting fixtures, representing the School at other events and on School trips.
The School Day
The School will provide supervision between 7.30am until 6pm on a standard School day during the term time.
The School will not take responsibility for children on the premises outside of these hours, unless they are participating in a School organised activity where specific arrangements for supervision will be communicated to parents/carers.
Measures will be in place to ensure that:
- The level of supervision provided is appropriate to the age of pupils and the lesson or activities with which they are engaged;
- Registration will take place in the morning, after lunch and during each lesson. Unexplained absences are checked to ensure that all pupils are accounted for. The School will contact parents/carers if their child is absent without explanation;
- During taught lessons, the member(s) of staff responsible for the lesson can effectively supervise pupils;
- At recess and lunchtime, sufficient supervision will be in place in designated buildings and play areas where pupils are expected to be;
- There will be designated members of staff responsible for supervising pupils involved in co-curricular activities, either during lunchtimes or after School.
Off Site Sports and Trips
In accordance with the Educational Trips Policy, supervision ratios vary according to the activity, age, group and location, but wherever possible, more than one member of staff will accompany an off site activity involving pupils. Those taking pupils off site will be required to produce an absence list. Staff supervising activities off site will be made aware they have a duty of care for pupils and to be aware of travel arrangements. No pupil should be left alone at any school/sporting venue or at School after 6pm.
