Safeguarding
How our Setting Safeguards Students
We understand that safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children is everyone’s responsibility and fully endorse the core principles of safeguarding:
- Protecting children from maltreatment (A child is anyone under 18 years old)
- Preventing impairment of children’s mental and physical health or development
- Ensuring that children grow up in circumstances consistent with the provision of safe and effective care; and
- Taking action to enable all children to have the best outcomes.
We are child-centred and we will always promote students’ health, well-being, personal and emotional development.

The school are part of ‘Operation Encompass’. This is a joint project between schools and South Yorkshire Police and involves the prompt notification to school that a child (under 18) has been exposed to, or involved in, any domestic incident. The school’s safeguarding term will be informed of such incidents and will use this information (in confidence) to ensure the wellbeing of the child. This will enable us to make provisions / adjustments to support the child or their family. We believe this will have a positive impact for all involved.
Nurturing confidence, nurturing potential, nurturing success.
