Child Protection and Safeguarding
We consider the safeguarding of our children to be of paramount importance, therefore everyone on our site is responsible for safeguarding and protecting children, and must be aware of our procedures.
If you have a safeguarding or child protection concern, please discuss your concerns with the Designated Safeguarding Lead, or in their absence, with a Deputy Designated Safeguarding Lead as soon as possible.
If you have a concern about a member of staff, discuss your concern with the headteacher. If you have a concern about the headteacher, please feel free to contact the Chair of Governors, Hugh Hennebry. The staff at reception will help locate them for you if needed.
