The academy is committed to safeguarding and promoting the pastoral care and welfare of all our students. We are mindful of our duty to keep our students safe and there are careful procedures in place to ensure this happens.
All staff and volunteers undergo stringent vetting procedures to ensure they are suitable to work with our students, this also applies to any visiting agencies and contractors who may be working on site.
Parents and students are encouraged to talk freely about their concerns and inform the academy of issues which may be affecting educational progress or mental wellbeing. We endeavour to work in partnership with parents at all times, however, the academy cannot where a child may be at risk in certain circumstances consult parents first or agree to keep a concern raised confidential.
