Safeguarding at Our School
We place the safety, health, well‑being and welfare of every student at the heart of everything we do.
We are committed to safeguarding and work together to ensure that all students thrive in a safe, supportive, and inclusive environment—regardless of age, ethnicity, religion, disability, sexual identity or gender.
All staff receive regular training in Safeguarding and Child Protection and are kept up to date with changes in legislation and best practice. We take every allegation or suspicion of abuse seriously and respond promptly.
Staff recruited to the School undergo a rigorous safer‑recruitment process in line with the statutory guidance in Keeping Children Safe in Education 2025 (KCSIE). All required background checks, including DBS, are completed before employment begins.
We follow the safeguarding definitions set out in the Children Act 1989, Children Act 2004, and the DfE guidance Working Together to Safeguard Children.
