Safeguarding & Child Protection

Our Safeguarding Team, Mrs Kerr (Pastoral Vice-Principal and Designated Teacher), Mr Guy (Senior Teacher [Pastoral] and Deputy Designated Teacher), Mr McCoy (Principal and Deputy Designated Teacher), Mr Thompson (Curriculum Vice-Principal and Deputy Designated Teacher), and Mrs Moorehead (SENCO and Deputy Designated Teacher) ensures that pupils know what to do if they encounter physical, social or emotional harm and all staff are trained to support them. 

Safeguarding Children

  • The young person’s welfare is of paramount importance;

  • Young people have a right to feel safe, to be heard, listened to and taken seriously;

  • We have a pastoral responsibility towards the children in our care and should take all reasonable steps to ensure their welfare is safeguarded and their safety is preserved;

  • A proper balance must be struck between protecting young people and respecting the rights and needs of the parents and families; but where there is conflict, the young person’s interests must come first
