Safeguarding
Safeguarding is everybody’s responsibility and together we want to ensure that our children are safe, happy and secure at all times. If you have any concerns about your own, or another child, please do not hesitate to contact one of the Designated Safeguarding Leads below.
All members of staff have a duty to safeguard our pupils' welfare and are trained to do so.
