About Anchored Schools
Corrie Fielding and Debbie Lamb started working together in 2016 and went on to establish Anchored Schools with the aim of offering comprehensive support to schools in the areas of safeguarding, behaviour, attendance and PSHE.
Both Corrie and Debbie have extensive experience as senior leaders in the primary and secondary sector where their work had a significant impact on improving pupil outcomes as well as impacting on whole school development.
Debbie went on to lead Safeguarding, Behaviour and Attendance for a number of Multi Academy Trusts in the north of England. Her work has included offering advice and guidance to senior leaders on strategic planning, reviewing and evidencing the impact of initiatives, preparing schools for Ofsted inspections, leading staff and governor training and facilitating professional forums to support collaborative work.
Corrie has been a senior leader, a practising DSL, SENCO and Governor (including Chair) for many years in both primary and secondary settings. She joined a Multi Academy Trust where she led on Safeguarding during which she was recognised for outstanding practice. Corrie was identified by Ofsted as being an outstanding leader of PSHE and went on to be a peer practitioner supporting colleagues across the north of England. She also provides Safeguarding support for organisations outside traditional educational provisions such as charities and out of school settings.
Corrie and Debbie’s wealth of experience has, undoubtedly, enhanced their level of knowledge and expertise in all areas of Safeguarding, Behaviour and Attitudes and Personal Development. However, they believe it is their regular and continued involvement with schools that ensures that their support remains relevant, useful and impactful.
Corrie and Debbie’s work is driven by a passion and absolute determination to provide high quality pastoral care and an unwavering belief in the need to create a robust culture and ethos of safeguarding. Anchored Schools can assist your school in safely securing your students’ wellbeing.
