Safeguarding

At our school, the safety and well-being of every child is our top priority. We are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and expect all staff, volunteers, and members of our wider school community to share this responsibility. 

All staff and volunteers receive regular safeguarding training and are fully aware of the steps to take if they have any concerns about a child’s welfare. They act swiftly and appropriately, following our policies and statutory guidance. Where concerns arise, we work closely with parents and, where necessary, other agencies to ensure children are protected and supported. 

If you have any concerns about the safety or welfare of a child, inside or outside of school, please contact one of our Designated Safeguarding Leads (DSLs):
