If you have any concerns about your child or any other pupil at our school, please contact one of the Designated Safeguarding Leads from the above list, who will be able to support you further with the concern and will know who to contact to take the matter forward. Your concern will be treated with the appropriate degree of confidentiality. Remember reporting your concern to us could mean getting the right help and support to a family.
We are an Operation Encompass School, this means that if the police are called to a household where a child at our school resides and domestic abuse has occured, we will be notified, regardless if the child was present at the time. This allows us to provide support for the child as soon as they arrive at school. Please click on the Operation Encompass link below to read a letter to all parents regarding the process.
If you feel that you need support with domestic violence or abuse for yourself, please click on the link below.
