Safeguarding
We believe in Excellent Behaviour, Safety and Care for each other
The school is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people, and we expect all staff (including supply staff), volunteers and visitors to share this commitment.
If you are concerned about a learner’s welfare or if your concerns relate to the actions or behaviour of a member of staff, please inform us straightaway by contacting one of our Child Protection Safeguarding Officers.
