Working with parents and outside agencies to ensure all children remain safe at all times is our highest priority. Safeguarding covers a whole range of areas including; a planned curriculum that helps children understand how to keep themselves safe and prepares them well for life in a modern world, the safe management of visitors in school, the safe management of trips and visits and strong and secure child protection procedures. We also ensure that school has given due consideration of local and national priorities such as challenging the use of discriminatory language, keeping children safe online and responding to increased mental health concerns.
We are dedicated to maintaining the highest standards of safeguarding and welfare for our children, staff and families.
