If you believe that a child or young person is at IMMEDIATE risk, you should treat this as an emergency and call the Academy, or call 999 to report your concerns to the Police.
Our safeguarding personnel are as follows:
DSL Designated Safeguarding Lead: Miss Denise White
Deputy Child Protection Coordinator: Mrs Sue Kemmett
Child Looked After Coordinator: Miss Denise White
E-Safety Coordinator: Miss Denise White
Person responsible for children with medical conditions: Mrs Nicola Bryant / Mrs Catherine Wickham
Most children enjoy generally happy childhood experiences within their own family. Unfortunately for some this is not the case. During difficult family times, everyone who knows the child must do the best they can to protect them from future harm.
You may be concerned about a child or young person. You may or may not know them,or even their name. Safeguarding is everyone’s responsibility. Abuse can take many different forms, such as neglect, sexual abuse, physical abuse and even emotional abuse.
Don’t assume that someone else will take responsibility and make that phone call. You could help to save a child’s life. If you are worried, report it.
Tell someone!

“Teachers provide highly detailed and effective feedback on a regular basis so that pupils know what they need to do to improve. Pupils regularly respond to marking to ensure they improve upon their understanding. Pupils are now given more opportunities to complete their work fluently and at greater length.
