Safeguarding

All members of the Safeguarding Team are passionate about supporting the students in our school. All of the team are skilled and experienced and can advise and support you with all different aspects of safeguarding and welfare.

We pride ourselves on giving students and families realistic, sensible and practical advice and guidance with a no-nonsense approach. We aim to do this whilst being positive about the challenges and opportunities that are faced with the families and students in our school.

For any safeguarding issues as parents you want to support please use the contact details below:

We will aim to respond within 48 working hours and in term time only.

We work closely with the Police. For events in the local community please report to the police on 101 (if it is not urgent) or 999 (if you are in immediate danger).

We work closely with Northamptonshire Children’s safeguarding partnership to support the school and families
