The academy aims to create an atmosphere in which pupils feel secure and valued.

We are concerned about the welfare and safety of all our students and work to provide an environment in which they feel safe and listened to.

Safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children includes protecting children from maltreatment and ensuring children are able to grow up in circumstances consistent with the provision of safe and effective care and taking action to enable all children to have the best outcomes.

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

People you can contact in school in relation to safeguarding issues are:

• Mrs Martyn – Designated Safeguarding Lead
• Miss Harrison – Deputy Designated Safeguarding Lead
