At Ark Kings Academy we take safeguarding very seriously. All adults who regularly work on our site are required to undergo a Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) check to prevent unsuitable people from working with students. Ark is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people in our academies. To meet this responsibility, we follow a rigorous selection process. This process is outlined here, but can be provided in more detail if requested. All successful candidates will be subject to an enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service check.
Ofsted February 2022:
- Pupils in the primary phase enjoy coming to school. They are confident, curious and eager to learn. They feel safe and are well cared for. Teachers and leaders expect all pupils to achieve well and to behave well. Pupils meet these expectations. Pupils and adults get on well and they work together in a culture of respect and kindness.
- From the beginning of nursery, pupils in the primary phase are taught how to look after themselves and to understand their feelings and those of other people. They support one another and are happy to embrace new challenges. They are responsible and respectful.
- Leadership in the early years is good, resulting in children receiving a good quality of education.
Ofsted December 2022:
- Safeguarding is effective.
- Leaders have been resolute in making sure that the safety of pupils is paramount.
- Leaders have developed and unified expert teams of staff, including pastoral, welfare and behaviour, to work alongside the safeguarding team. This has strengthened leaders’ ability to identify concerns very rapidly. It has also ensured that help is quickly at hand for pupils and their families.
- Pupils say that they know who they can talk to if they have a problem.
- Leaders have radically overhauled the systems used by the school to improve pupils’ behaviour. This has been very well-received by pupils.
- You have established much higher expectations of pupils’ learning behaviours.
