Keeping everyone in our school safe, happy and thriving is the core purpose of our mission as a Christian school.  The information contained in this section of our website is here to support us and to provide information for our parents and carers to help keep our children safe.  Our whole staff are trained annually on safeguarding updates (first INSET day in September annually) and have weekly updates through our staff briefings/meetings and supervision meetings.
