Safeguarding is everyone’s responsibility. Mrs Hudson is the Designated Safeguarding Lead and any concerns should be shared with her or the Deputy Safeguarding Leads – Mrs Hadley and Miss Beddoes.  Where child protection concerns are raised, the school has a statutory duty to refer these concerns to children’s social care.

If you are concerned about a child or young person, please call the telephone numbers below.

• During office hours Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm, call children's services on 0300 555 0050. Select option 3
• Out of office hours, contact the Emergency Duty Team on 0300 555 8574
• In an emergency call 999

When you contact Children’s Services, you will speak to a professional who will listen to your concerns. They may take a few details and might need to contact you again, but your concern will be dealt with quickly and appropriately. You do not need to provide your name or give contact details if you do not wish to do so. Anonymous calls will not be ignored.

Alternatively, contact the NSPCC on 0800 800 5000

Please can we remind you that if your child has pierced ears, any earrings worn to school should be plain simple studs. These must be able to be removed by your child for PE. If you are considering having your child’s ears pierced please have it done at the start of the Summer holiday so that they don’t have to miss PE. (They are not able to take part wearing earrings, even if they are covered.)

Please can we also remind you that hair clips, bobbles and headbands should be simple an unadorned.

Thank you
