The most important job we have in school is to
KEEP YOUR CHILD SAFE!
We know the trust and faith you put in us when you bring your child to school each day and we will do our utmost to protect them.
This page will explain what we do in school, what procedures we follow, who you can talk to if you have any concerns, what to do if you are worried and advice to help you work with us for the benefit of our wonderful children.
In school we have a duty of care for all our children and staff. If you have a worry or concern, these are the people to talk to.
