Safeguarding
Safeguarding Children |
All the governors and staff at Fetcham Village Infant School are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and expect all volunteers to share this commitment. This means that we adhere to our Child Protection Policy and procedures. Sometimes we may need to share information and work in partnership with other agencies when there are concerns about a child’s welfare. We will ensure that our concerns about our pupils are discussed with his/her parents/carers first unless we have reason to believe that such a move would be contrary to the child’s welfare. Our Designated Safeguarding Lead (DSL) is Mrs Christine Shuman Our Deputy Designated Safeguarding Lead is Mrs Keryn Wingrave |

Message from the Chair of Governors Mrs Cath Garel |
Dear Parents and Friends I hope you find this prospectus informative and it gives you an insight into our School and School Community. However, no booklet is a substitute for a visit, so please do come and take a look. Fetcham Village Infant School is a Values School and we pride ourselves in providing a happy, attentive and challenging learning environment for your child where he or she is cared for and valued as an individual. We do not just teach good values – we demonstrate them in all we do. All our staff are committed to ensuring that each child develops the confidence and self- belief to achieve their ambitions and goals and the skills to evaluate and improve their own learning. We believe that children learn best when families are involved and we are continuously looking at how we can further develop this aspect of our school life. We aim to provide frequent opportunities to keep you fully informed about your child and we hope that you will take advantage of the many opportunities there will be to visit and get involved in the different aspects of school life at Fetcham Village Infant school. Our staff and governors work well together on our school development plan and we are constantly looking for ways to improve what we do. We have worked hard to build a good reputation with our past and present parents and have achieved good judgements from Ofsted in our last few formal inspections. So come and see for yourselves and find out how our Values based education is working for our students and staff. Cath Garel Chair of Governors
