Keeping Safe

We are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and will strive to ensure:

that the school provides a safe environment for children and young people to learn;
that the required systems and procedures are in place to identify children and young people who are suffering or likely to suffer significant harm.
and will take appropriate action with the aim of making sure they are kept safe both at home and at school. All concerns are recorded on a safeguarding concern form.

Please see the Safeguarding Poster which shows our safeguarding team.
