About this school's place in the register
Hedon Nursery School is listed in the Department for Education's register of schools, Get Information About Schools, under unique reference number 131416. The register records it as a local authority nursery school, in the group the Department calls local authority maintained schools. The register was last checked on 23 September 2026.
Its phase of education is nursery. The statutory age range is 2 to 5, which is the span of ages the school is registered to admit; the routes children take to the gate, and how independently they travel, follow from it. The intake is recorded as mixed. At the last school census 73 pupils were on roll, and 0 percent of them were eligible for free school meals, a figure the report uses only to describe the catchment, never the school. The register holds a website address for the school, linked below.
The school is in England, at postcode HU12 8JB. Its grid reference is easting 518841, northing 428784, which is latitude 53.7419 and longitude -0.1996. That point is the centre of everything the safeguarding context report measures: the streets within a short walk, the routes to the nearest transport and shops, the roads at the gate, and the neighbourhood statistics that surround it.
Hedon Nursery School sits in the East Riding of Yorkshire local authority area, which has 160 open establishments in the register. The local authority is the body that publishes the local safeguarding partnership arrangements, the threshold document and the early help offer that a school's child protection policy refers to, so the same authority context applies to every school in East Riding of Yorkshire.
The nearest schools in the register to Hedon Nursery School are Hedon Primary School (about 150 metres away), Inmans Primary School (about 720 metres away), Holderness Academy (1.1 km away), Preston Primary School (1.3 km away) and Thorngumbald Primary School (3.0 km away). Distances are straight lines between grid references, not walking routes. Several schools within walking distance of each other share the same streets, crossings, parks and shops, so the context described for one usually applies to its neighbours too.
What the report for Hedon Nursery School contains
An annual report, written for the Designated Safeguarding Lead, that reads the public record for the environment around this school and says what it means in the language of Keeping Children Safe in Education and contextual safeguarding. Each chapter is mapped to the policy paragraph, the governors' annual report or the inspection question it evidences. The recorded picture at the gate comes from UK Crime Statistics, our sister service; the rest is evidence a crime map does not carry.
- The recorded picture at the gate. Police-recorded incidents within a short walk, from UK Crime Statistics, described as the streets a child crosses rather than as a score, and turned into the context paragraph the policy asks for.
- Exploitation indicators. The public signals of criminal and sexual exploitation in the area, and what a DSL can and cannot read into them.
- Places and routes where risk sits. Parks, shops, transport stops and underpasses on the way in, drawn from the data rather than from reputation.
- Road danger at the gate. Collisions involving pedestrians and cyclists on the surrounding roads, with what a School Street request needs.
- Air quality and catchment deprivation. The neighbourhood statistics that shape the context, printed with their limits.
- Policy paragraph, governor paragraph and inspector questions. Ready to paste, answered from the findings above.
