We take our safeguarding responsibilities extremely seriously. It has been recognised by Ofsted (2017) that “child protection systems are in place and are effective. The school works effectively alongside other agencies to support pupils who are either at risk or are vulnerable. Case studies of individual pupils reveal a robust and rigorous approach, keeping the best interests of the pupils at the core of the work”. Furthermore, there is “an increasingly open culture within the school where pupils are able to contribute, air their views and receive support where necessary. This has helped to create an environment in which, pupils say, diversity and equality are valued.” To learn more about our safeguarding policy visit our safeguarding webpage on the main website.
