Our Safeguarding Children’s Board
We are proud to have a Safeguarding Children’s Board made up of pupil representatives.
This group:
- Promotes safety awareness across the school
- Helps children understand how to keep themselves and others safe
- Supports discussions around online safety and wellbeing
- Encourages pupils to use their voice if something does not feel right
Through this leadership opportunity, children develop confidence and responsibility while contributing to a strong culture of safeguarding.
Online Safety
We take online safety seriously and teach children how to use technology safely and responsibly.
Filtering and monitoring systems are in place, and pupils learn about:
- Staying safe online
- Cyberbullying
- Responsible use of social media
- How to report concerns
Working in Partnership
We work closely with parents, carers and external agencies to ensure children receive the right support at the right time.
All safeguarding concerns are taken seriously and dealt with in line with statutory guidance.
