Welcome to our new website
Feeling and being safe is a primary outcome for all our students. We are committed to ensuring we robustly safeguard all students and provide an enabling environment and positive relationships which promotes their wellbeing and growth.
A governance framework provides challenge and rigour to the safeguarding policy and procedure. The safeguarding governor is supported by an external safeguarding consultant who also provides audits, training and learning events
We recognise it is the effective implementation of policy and procedures that keep children safe.
