Safeguarding Statement
Children maximise their potential in an environment which is safe, secure and supportive of all their needs, including any needs they have from potential abuse.
Our school is committed to providing the welfare of all children by working in partnership with parents and carers. The Local Authority (LA) and multi-agency partners in early help and child protection, in accordance with locally agreed multi-agency safeguarding arrangements, procedure and practices.
Safeguarding children permeates all aspects of our work as a school, with a preventative role to inform and boost the resilience of all students by enhancing protective factors in their lives.
