Safeguarding
Parents can find resources to help their children stay well in this section.
Safeguarding means: protecting children from abuse and maltreatment, preventing harm to children's health or development, ensuring children grow up with the provision of safe and effective care.
Safeguarding is the responsibility of everyone involved in the care of a young person and in this section parents will find resources to help them to play their part in this.

Our SEN Information Report
As a school, we are mindful of and comply with the expectations of the SEN and Disability Code of Practice 0-25 years, introduced by the Government in June 2014. We also adhere to the Equality Act 2010.
We use different interventions and approaches to address specific areas of need and would look carefully at your child’s individual needs when deciding how best to support your child in consultation with parents/carers and the young person.
We have developed a SEN Information Report which explains how we support children with Special Educational Needs in our school.
