We all have a responsibility for the safeguarding of children and young people.
Safeguarding is about making sure that all children and young people are protected from harm, abuse or maltreatment – whether caused by adults or other children; so that all children can grow up in safe environments enjoying their childhood.
The Designated Safeguarding Lead at the School is Rachel Chadbourne (Headteacher). There are three Deputy Safeguarding Leads: Mrs Banat-Rinz (Deputy head and SENDCo), Miss King (HLTA and Pastoral Support) and Mrs Mucklow (Wrap-Around Care Leader).
If you have a safeguarding concern please contact the school and ask to speak to Mrs Chadbourne or one of safeguarding leads as detailed above.
Our safeguarding policy can be found below:
