At St Mary’s, the welfare and safety of children who attend our school is our paramount concern. We will promote the health, wellbeing and safety of the pupils in all we do. Our children have the right to be safe and be protected, regardless of age, gender, race, culture or disability. They have a right to be safe in our school. The school understands the responsibilities to work together in partnership with other agencies, parents and governors, to help children to grow up in a healthy and safe environment.
At St Mary's safeguarding is key to the service we provide to our families.
We have a dedicated team of safeguarding professionals whose job it is to support families and keep our children safe at home and in school.
