Keeping Children Safe
Everyone at Burlington Junior School has a responsibility to keep our children safe and protected.
We are committed to creating a safe, caring environment where everyone is happy and can achieve.
In order to keep children safe, the following are not permitted on the school grounds. This also applies when adults are accompanying children on school trips:
- Nuts (not to be included as part of healthy snacks or packed lunches)
- Smoking
- Vaping

Who to contact if you have a concern about a child:
If you have a safeguarding concern about a child, you can contact any member of staff and they will refer the concern to our safeguarding team. If you have a general worry or question about your child and their well-being, please speak to your child's class teacher in the first instance.
For some children and families, home isn't a safe place.
If you are concerned about the safety or welfare of a child, please contact Kingston and Richmond's SPA (Single Point of Access) on 020 8547 5008 from 8am to 5.15pm Monday to Friday where you can share your concern and gain advice and information.
If you need to speak to someone urgently after hours or at the weekend, call the 'Out of Hours' team on 020 8770 5000.
If you think a child is in immediate danger, you should call 999.

Anti-Bullying Week
A recent anti-bullying theme was 'Reach Out'. Andy and the Odd Socks have created a song called 'Calling Out' which supports key messages for children about anti-bullying from the Anti-Bullying Alliance. They filmed the video at our school, please take a look.
