Keeping pupils safe is everyone’s responsibility. Our safeguarding team leads the school’s response to concerns and works with staff, families and external agencies to support pupils’ welfare.

Pupils can speak to any trusted adult in school if something is worrying them. Staff pass safeguarding concerns to the appropriate member of the safeguarding team so that they can be considered and acted on.
Parents and carers should contact the DSL or Deputy DSL if they are concerned about a child’s safety or wellbeing. You do not need to be certain that harm has occurred before sharing a concern.
Our Safeguarding and Child Protection Policy explains our procedures and responsibilities.
If a child is in immediate danger, call 999.
