Our first duty is to ensure that all pupils are safe and are also able to keep themselves safe.

We have a team of Child Protection Officers led by our Head of school, Mrs Jessica Wright. In addition to this team, Bridget Down is the designated Director with oversight of Child Protection and Safeguarding.

We take our responsibility to ensure pupils are safe very seriously and will act on any concerns that we have regarding the welfare and/or safety of one of our pupils.
