Safeguarding

We work hard to keep our students informed about a broad range of issues affecting them today, such as Internet safety, drug and alcohol awareness, the use of ‘legal highs’, forced marriages, radicalisation and extremism, gang and knife crime, Gangs, county lines and child sexual exploitation.

Our thorough safeguarding programme includes students of all ages and involves a range of experiences including assemblies, workshops, visiting guest speakers and theatre production.

Praised by Ofsted, our comprehensive programme helps students to stay safe and avoid risky behaviour, preparing them for life in our rapidly-changing world.

The team works together to support children and their families when they need it.

Our Safeguarding Policy underpins this work, as does the statutory DfE guidance detailed in Keeping children safe in education.

If you have any queries or require support, please contact the Safeguarding team.

Tel: 01582 722 333

The team is led by Kelly-Anne Keating, the Designated Safeguarding Lead, and is assisted by Sita Hall, Assistant Safeguarding Officer.
