Child protection is part of the safeguarding process. It focuses on protecting individual children identified as suffering or likely to suffer significant harm. This includes child protection procedures, which detail how to respond to concerns about a child.
Winchelsea School is committed to providing the highest possible standards in all safeguarding issues.
In school, Geoff Cherrill (Headteacher) leads our safeguarding team, with support from Adam Bradford and Jo Snow. Please do not hesitate to contact one of the team if you have any questions or information.

We are delighted to announce an exciting piece of news.
Both Canford Heath Junior School and Old Town Infant School & Nursery have been working closely with Winchelsea School to explore and develop a satellite provision located at each school. As a result, from September 2019, Winchelsea School staff will be teaching a group of pupils with additional needs at each site.
This collaboration will enable pupils to gain access to specialised teaching, which will help meet their specific needs, whilst also providing an excellent opportunity for the development of social and communication skills in a mainstream setting.
We are all confident that the shared expertise and staff development that this opportunity will enable us to meet the needs of all our children in an exciting and innovative way; it is a project which ultimately will bring benefit to staff and pupils and both Winchelsea and the host schools. In addition, we are confident that all of the schools will work closely together to provide high quality support for staff and pupils.
Unfortunately the car boot which was due to take place this Sunday has been cancelled.
