Safeguarding

Every adult in our school community — teachers, staff, governors, and volunteers — works together to keep children safe. We make sure that everyone receives regular safeguarding training to stay up-to-date with the latest guidance and best practices for child protection. If you ever have a worry about your child or another child, please speak to any member of staff. We’re here to help.
