No child should suffer harm, either at home or at school. Everyone who works in or visits our school has a responsibility to make sure that all our young people are safe.

Your child’s physical and emotional safety is our priority. Please see below to view our Safeguarding & Child Protection Policy.

We have rewritten our Safeguarding Policy (downloadable below),in child-friendly language to explain to our pupils the role of the Safeguarding team and how they work to keep children safe.

We have also made a leaflet (downloadable below), also in a child-friendly format, to help the children remember what to do if they have a worry or concern about something, including using the Worry folder which is located on the door to Mrs Hall's office.

What should I do if I am worried about a child?

If you are worried about the safety of any young person in our school for any reason, you must report this to one of our Designated Safeguarding Leads (DSLs). You can speak to us in person, or contact us via email.

• Deputy Headteacher (Lead DSL): Mrs Ruth Hall
