In response to the events in Manchester, it is possible that children will be feeling anxious about the news coverage and the discussions that may be taking place in the Academy and on social media. Here at All Saints Academy, we have taken the initial step of showing our respect in the wake of the tragedy and have focused our young people on a practical and positive activity through which they can show support. We have also given guidance to our staff, following the advice provided by the PSHCE Association, to help them address concerns and conversations that students may be having.

There is a Freephone helpline for those affected by the media coverage of the incident in Manchester on 08088 020 021 and the numbers for members of the public who are concerned about individuals who may have attended the concern is 0161 856 9400. To report anything suspicious please call 0800 789 321.

At all times, we will follow our normal safeguarding procedures to ensure the well-being of our students. If you receive a text or phone call asking you to verify the whereabouts of your son/daughter, please respond promptly.
