Safeguarding

Over 140 different languages are spoken across Slough and more than 50 different languages are spoken as a first language by children in Slough schools.
65% of state funded schools (including nurseries) are academies or free schools. 75% of primary, secondary, special schools and PRUs combined are academies or free schools.

Slough Borough Council has a statutory duty to be a champion for high educational standards across the town. In a mixed economy of single academies, MATs, free schools and maintained schools the council’s aim is to facilitate the best support through the school led improvement system as key partners with all stakeholders.
