Folly Hill is part of The Kite Academy Trust, which is a group of 9 primary academies, a mix of infant and through-primary, one and two-form entry. We have four nurseries and a specialist unit for children with Developmental Language Delay. We are closely connected in the Farnham/Frimley/ Camberley/Farnborough area, with a Central Office at Holly Lodge Primary Academy in Ash Vale.

The Kite Academy Trust are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expect all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. We actively support the Government's Prevent Agenda to counter radicalism and extremism.

In line with Keeping Children Safe in Education (KCSIE) guidance, successful applicants are subject to an enhanced Disclosure & Barring Service check, satisfactory employment references and online searches. We have a number of policies and procedures in place that contribute to our safeguarding commitment, including our Safeguarding & Child Protection Policy.

We are an equal opportunities employer who value diversity and inclusion. Guided by our values—positivity, respect, integrity, resilience, and aspiration—we are committed to creating a fair and supportive environment where everyone can thrive. Join us and help make a difference in the communities we serve.

At Folly Hill Infant School, we strongly recognise the need for vigilant awareness of safeguarding issues. It is important that all staff have appropriate training and induction so that they understand their roles and responsibilities and are confident about carrying them out. Staff, pupils, parents and governors should feel confident that they could raise any issues or concerns about the safety or welfare of children and know that they will be listened to and taken seriously. This will be achieved by maintaining an ethos of safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and protecting staff. This is supported by clear behaviour, anti-bullying and child protection policies, careful risk assessment, appropriate induction and training, briefing and discussion of relevant issues and relevant learning through our PSHE curriculum.
