If any parent/carer/ family member or member of our school community is concerned about a child they should make contact with the Safeguarding Leads in school or contact the social care Gateway on 01752 668000.

If any parent has concerns over our procedures, practices or curriculum content, they should come and discuss this with the Headteacher.
