Our Safeguarding Team will listen to any concerns you have about members of our school community in a confidential manner.

The safety and well being of our children is our highest priority at all times. We have a range of safeguarding measures in place and robust child protection procedures.

As a school we have a responsibility to inform children and family services if we have concerns about the welfare and safety of a child in our school.  We  ensure the protection of children through:

• A SAFE ENVIRONMENT: for children where they can learn and develop

• RAISING AWARENESS: give children the knowledge they need to stay safe

• ROBUST PROCEDURES: to identify and report suspected abuse

• SUPPORTING CHILDREN: in line with their Child Protection Plan in cases of abuse

• SAFE RECRUITMENT: based on a system of both DBS and employment checks

For your child’s safety we ask all visitors to ensure they enter through the main entrance to the school and report to a member of the office staff, signing into the visitors’ log and receiving a visitors’ badge if required.
