safeguarding
‘This school is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and we expect all our staff and volunteers to share this commitment.’
We follow the safe practices of Somerset Local Education Authority in our recruitment of paid staff and volunteers.
We also adhere completely to the DFE statutory guidance for schools ‘Keeping Children Safe in Education’ 2018.
All staff have undergone child protection training.
E-safety is taught and discussed across the phases at an age-appropriate level. We take part in e-safety day as an annual event and we encourage parental awareness of e-safety matters from the time their children enter school.
Please see our e-safety page for information for our parents.
