Safeguarding

We recognise our moral and statutory responsibility to safeguard and promote the welfare of all children with their best interests at the centre of our work.

Welcome from our Designated Safeguarding Leads
Report a safeguarding concern

Welcome from our Designated Safeguarding Leads

We strive to create an environment in which children feel safe, secure and respected.

We encourage them to talk openly about anything that worries them; and help them feel confident that they will be listened to. Adults in our school take all welfare concerns seriously, are alert to the signs of abuse and neglect, and trained to follow our robust procedures to ensure that children receive effective support, protection and justice.

Below are links to resources where you can annoymously report concerns and find further support.
