Safeguarding
We take the health and wellbeing of our students very seriously and proud that safeguarding has a high profile in our school with everyday practices supporting our commitment to keep our students safe.
Our staff receive regular safeguarding training. They have the skills and knowledge to spot concerns and know how to report these when appropriate. We do not promise confidentiality to any young person and, where possible, always share concerns with parents or carers so we can work closely to address the problem or issue.
The school’s Safeguarding Lead is Mrs Richardson, supported by Mrs Lowery, Head of Kings House, and Mrs Robson, Head of Meadow House.
If you are concerned about your child or another young person, please contact Mrs Richardson.
Our Pastoral Department
The Pastoral Department is led by Mrs Richardson and is supported by Mrs Lowery, the Head of Kings House and Mrs Robson, the Head of Meadow House.
They are responsible for making sure that the appropriate support is given to students to develop good learning habits, so they have a successful time in school.
Mrs Richardson has the overall responsibility for work of the Pastoral Team. She also has an overview on all student matters and ensures that Year groups 7 to 11 uphold the school’s standards.
Support Zone Team
The school’s Support Zone Team is the first point of contact for any student referrals. Based upon medical or behavioural needs of the student, the team determines how individual circumstances are managed.
The Support Zone Team also provides on-call support to staff and conducts regular walks around the school to ensure students adhere to our Attitude to Learning Policy.
