Safeguarding

If you have a concern about a child please speak to:

If she is not available please speak to:
Mr Ben Rix or Jeanette Perrett (Deputy Child Protection Leads)

Our school is committed to ensuring that our children and staff are safe.  We take safeguarding and child protection very seriously and maintain tight procedures and working practices.  Our Child Protection Policy is available on this webpage, or from the school office on request.

All staff, including our volunteers and supply staff must ensure that they are aware of our procedures and accept their duty of care as outlined in Keeping Children Safe in Education 2022. Parents and carers are welcome to read these documents.

Sometimes we may need to share information and work in partnership with other agencies when there are concerns about a child’s welfare.  We will always ensure that our concerns about our pupils are discussed with their parents/carers first, unless we believe that this is not in the child’s best interests.  All information regarding safeguarding our children is treated with sensitivity and shared on a strictly ‘need to know’ basis.

Changes and challenges at home or school can impact on a child’s day.  If your child has an accident, is unhappy or if they are struggling in anyway, please let us know.
