Information for Students
All children and young people have the right to a life and education, free from harm and abuse. If you are worried about something and would like to talk it through, please come and see one of the Safeguarding Team in the safe guarding office on C floor. You can also speak to your Head or Deputy Head of Year for support or any other adult in school.
If you have a worry outside of school time and would like someone to talk to, you can find further advice and help on the websites below:
