Secure Roots

Secure Roots is a new service available through Spark

We’ve created this in direct response to lots of feedback from schools looking for: trusted external assurance and high-quality training and resources to support school leaders, staff and children.

Secure Roots provides targeted support across five key areas:

  1. Safeguarding
  2. Attendance
  3. Inclusion
  4. Personal Development & Wellbeing
  5. Behaviour and Attitudes

Developed by a school leader with real, lived experience, Secure Roots ensures your whole school community is fully prepared, supported, and confident in meeting statutory requirements from September onwards.

Resources and materials that inform but also engage with each intended audience.

Is this relevant for your school?

  • Do you lead or oversee any of those areas in school or across a Trust?
  • Are your policies and practices externally assured?
  • Could your staff benefit from timely, engaging, and consistent training/updates?
  • Are you confident all statutory duties are being met across your team?

Secure Roots offers:

  • External assurance of your policies and practice
  • Flexible CPD, both in-person and digital
  • Up-to-date guidance and documentation support
  • Resources for teachers and children (assemblies and class sessions)

This isn’t just ‘box-tick’ training. It’s about building shared ownership, clarity, and confidence in your school—ensuring every child is supported to thrive.

By combining Spark’s expertise in creating engaging content for the right audience with in depth expertise and lived experience of what works in multiple schools, Secure Roots ensures that every member of staff, every pupil, is more than just aware of what they need to know; they work by it.
