Safeguarding and keeping children safe
We believe that all children and young people should feel safe and have the right to protection from neglect and abuse, and that their welfare is of paramount importance.
As a school, we pride ourselves on creating a strong safeguarding culture based on trust, confidence, respect and valuing each and every member of the school community to ensure that each individual pupil is appropriately safeguarded in line with the Local Safeguarding Children’s Board policy and procedures.
