If you have any concerns about the health and safety of a child at this school or feel that something may be troubling them, you should share this information with us as soon as possible. Do not worry that you may be reporting small matters – we would rather that you tell us things which turn out to be small than miss a worrying situation.

Our safeguarding policies are built on the guidelines set out by the Safeguarding Children Partnership. These policies are regularly reviewed and updated to ensure we are doing everything possible to safeguard the well-being of our students.  Please view our child protection and safeguarding policy on our policies page.

Operation Encompas

Operation Encompass is an initiative that enhances communication between the police and schools where a child is at risk from domestic abuse. The purpose of the information sharing is to ensure schools have more information to support safeguarding of children. By knowing that the child has had this experience, the school is in a better position to understand and be supportive of the child’s needs and possible behaviours. Operation Encompass will complement existing safeguarding procedures. More details and support can be found on the links below and numbers below.
