For a portion of the 1,500 students at Caludon Castle School in Coventry – part of Castle Phoenix multi-academy trust – the school is not just a place of learning, it is a place of security away from the challenges of home.

In normal times, seeing those students day-in, day-out, meant that we could keep a close watch on them and respond to any concerns they had and, if necessary, flag those up to our safeguarding leads.
But when our schools closed to all but a few students it was difficult to maintain that same level of awareness.
