Safeguarding

The safeguarding and protection of children is of paramount importance to everyone in our school and we work hard to create a culture of vigilance. We promote a culture where children and adults feel confident to share their concerns about their own or others’ safety and wellbeing. Our staff receive regular safeguarding training, and we continue to ensure that staff, governors, parents/carers and students work together to keep children safe.

We take account of the information contained in the Department for Education documents listed below:

‘Working Together to Safeguard Children’

‘Keeping Children Safe in Education: Statutory Guidance for Schools and Colleges’
