Safeguarding
Our School Community fully recognises the contribution it makes in protecting and supporting our students and pupils in school. The aim of the policy is to guide all staff and those with specific safeguarding responsibilities promote our students and pupils’ welfare, safety and health by fostering an honest, open, caring and supportive climate. Pupil safety is of paramount importance to all staff and volunteers.
For further information please read our Safeguarding Policy and also the Government document explaining how schools should keep children safe
