Safeguarding

We are committed to safeguarding, protecting from harm, including exploitation, abuse, bullying and mistreatment and promoting the health, safety and welfare of all our pupils. We expect all staff, volunteers, contractors and visitors to share this commitment. We listen to our pupils and take seriously what they tell us. Our aim is that all pupils will enjoy their learning and make progress whilst a pupil in the school. Every child’s wellbeing, happiness and safety is of paramount importance to us, which is why pastoral care is an integral part of school life.
