For convenience, we have grouped together key safeguarding policies and guidance on this page.  Some will be "doubled up" on other relevant pages; for example, you will be able to find our Online Safety Policy on the Online Safety page, as well as on this one.  This is to give safeguarding the highest profile.

The policies on this page have been ratified by the Chair of Governors.  Signed copies of the policies below are available from the school office upon request.
