We believe that life is a precious gift from God. We believe that all people deserve to enjoy a life filled with dignity and joy. This school is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children. We expect all staff and volunteers to share this commitment.
This means that we have a Safeguarding and Child Protection Policy and procedures in place. All staff (including supply staff, volunteers and governors) must ensure that they are aware of these procedures.
Parents and carers are welcome to read our Safeguarding and Child Protection Policy, which can be found at the bottom of this page.
Sometimes we may need to share information and work in partnership with other agencies

pupils are discussed with their parents/carers first unless we have reason to believe that such a discussion would be contrary to the child’s welfare.
We actively support the Government’s Prevent agenda to counter radicalism and extremism.
