We are committed to making sure that our school is a safe and happy place to be. Pupils are regularly reminded how to keep themselves safe, this maybe during lessons, assembly time or through visitors in school.
Everybody in school takes health and safety very seriously. if you see anything that could be improved please mention it to a staff member.
In line with government requirements the school maintains a central list of checks on appointed staff and adults who work in or visit the School. Any volunteer or parent working in the School are subject to full background checks.
