School Vision
Northwick Park Academy Trust vision is to develop well-rounded, confident, creative, responsible, resilient pupils who aspire to succeed. We respect the individual needs of our pupils and provide a caring and creative environment that empowers excellent social, emotional, physical and intellectual development. The mental and physical wellbeing of all members of the school community sits at the heart of everything we do.
Brief History
Northwick Park was originally separate Infant and Junior Schools that amalgamated in September 2006. The school-based nursery opened in September 1996. The breakfast and after-school club opened in September 2003. This facility is run by the school and has expanded to include a holiday club and full day care for children aged two and over. Approximately half our pupils enter by qualifying for two-year-old funding. These extended services are open from 7.15 am to 6.00 pm, 51 weeks of the year. Internal remodelling has ensured the school is able to offer 30 funded hours for all qualifying 3 and 4 year-olds from September 2017.
Responsibility to protect and safeguard the welfare of children and young people in its care
Northwick Park Primary Academy takes its responsibility to protect and safeguard the welfare of children and young people in its care very seriously.
‘The welfare of the child is paramount’ (The Children’s Act 1989)
Section 175 of the Education Act 2002 places a statutory responsibility on the governing body to have procedures and policies in place to safeguard and promote the welfare of pupils at the school.
Our foremost priority is to keep pupils safe and healthy. There are safeguarding notices around the school to remind staff and visitors of our procedures with the key message that ‘Safeguarding is everyone’s responsibility, every day'.
Members of staff responsible for Safeguarding:
- Mrs Emma Lane ( CEO/Executive Head Teacher)
- Mrs Lynne Keys (Foundation Stage Manager)
In the case that concerns are raised about the CEO, any of the Trustees should be contacted via the following number:
