Mr Yuill                                                 Mrs Harris 

Ian Gee is our Designated Safeguarding Governor

Maria Anderson is The Learning Academies Trust Safeguarding Lead

We are also supported by a Designated Safeguarding Team that includes: 

Lisa Chambers (FSA)

Mr Ogier (Assistant Head) 

Mrs Robinson (Early Years Lead and Deputy SENDCO)

Mrs Cooke (Nursery Lead Practitioner)

Please note that the headteacher will always act promptly and professionally in any case where he suspects that a child is at risk.

In most cases, you will be informed if it is felt there is a need to discuss a possible issue with you, and we will, together, decide whether there is a problem and seek appropriate solutions if necessary. Occasions may arise, though, when contact with other agencies, especially Social Services, may be made directly and without notice, where it is deemed important and necessary for the well-being of the child.

If any parents have concerns about a child at our school, then feel free to speak to one of our safeguarding officers. You can contact them via the school office or via their email address:
