Safeguarding and Pupil Behaviour
At Northgate School every member of staff has extensive training on safeguarding and upholds the requirements of Keeping Children Safe in Education.
Please visit our policies page to learn more about our Child protection & Safeguarding policy and our Behaviour policy.
Staff receive regular safeguarding updates and the values of keeping children safe are embedded in our school culture and ethos. Staff are familiar with recognising the signs of abuse and have received training on how to report suspected radicalisation through the government Prevent programme.
Students are supervised at all times at Northgate School and on admission each young person meets with our inclusion team to put in place a specific risk assessment and support plan for them.
The Designated Safeguarding Lead (DSL) at Northgate School is Angela Moore (Headteacher).
Other Designated Safeguarding Leads at Northgate are Althea Chambers (SENCO) and Eileen Langan (Pastoral Support Manager).
We have named members of staff who are First Aid trained and have clear procedures which document any injuries or accidents sustained at school.
Through PSHE and personal development students learn to treat others with respect and bullying is taken seriously.
If you suspect a child is in danger of being hurt or abused, call:

- Any member of staff in school, including those identified above.
