The school is committed to the vital contribution all governors and staff can make to safeguarding children. We will strive to make sure that every student in the school feels secure, well cared for, and able to reach their full potential.
We will ensure all our own staff, other professionals, parents/carers and students work together to know about keeping children safe. They will understand the importance of following procedures and listening to each other, especially when there are concerns about safety.
The school will work hard to reduce all the kinds of harm that children can suffer, including abuse, bullying, discrimination and avoidable injuries. If you have any concerns at all about the safety or welfare of a child please do not hesitate to contact us.
If you have any questions, worries or concerns do not hesitate to contact one of the Safeguarding team.
You can do this by:
Calling the school reception and saying you have a confidential matter for the safeguarding team, leaving your name, number and a time for a call back
Use our safeguarding email. Messages are picked up daily either by the school Designated Safeguarding Lead – K Shires or the School’s Senior Child Protection Officer – M Randall.
