Milborne St Andrew First School
Author: Sharon Hunt, Headteacher
The Challenge
Milborne St Andrew First School caters for 68 pupils from a mixed socio-economic demographic. The school has classes from reception to Year 4.
Prior to using MyConcern, Milborne St Andrew were operating a self-created, colour-coded safeguarding system that relied heavily on paper files. Staff at the school needed a system that would allow them to easily keep on top of essential information and securely share this with all relevant staff and trusted external partners.
They were also looking for a system that would allow them to securely transfer digital files to schools when the students moved on throughout their education.
The Solution - MyConcern
Having seen MyConcern being used in a school and hearing about its benefits, Milborne St Andrew were keen to adopt the system. They were particularly interested in how MyConcern would provide effective and accurate reporting across the school.
Implementing MyConcern
Implementing MyConcern has helped staff at Milborne St Andrew to ensure that their safeguarding processes are more secure, effective and efficient. They have also found that MyConcern ensures that part-time staff can easily and quickly be kept up-to-date.
The Outcomes
