To uphold this trust, the school has implemented a comprehensive framework of safeguarding measures and policies, including:

• Safeguarding and Child Protection Policy

• Anti-Bullying Policy
• Attendance Policy
• Behaviour and Discipline Policy
• Administration of Medication Policy
• Supporting Pupils with Medical Needs Policy
• Data Protection Policy
• Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) Policy

Our safeguarding team is led by trained and dedicated staff members:

• Designated Safeguarding Lead: Mr Lloyd Welsh, Deputy Headteacher
• Designated Safeguarding Lead: Ms Gemma King, Assistant Headteacher
• Deputy Safeguarding Lead: Mrs Louise Chabvuka, Headteacher

The school’s safeguarding practices are overseen by our Safeguarding Governor, Mrs Catherine Bryan, who works closely with the leadership team to ensure robust and effective safeguarding procedures are in place.

We are committed to maintaining a culture of vigilance, transparency, and accountability, ensuring that safeguarding remains at the heart of everything we do.
