Working in Partnership

We are committed to working in partnership with parents/carers so that every child can achieve their full potential and make a positive contribution to the life of our school.  We understand that parents/carers send their child(ren) to our school each day with the expectation that we provide a secure and stimulating environment in which their child(ren) can flourish.

​

On rare occasions, our concern about a pupil may mean that school staff have to consult other agencies even before they contact parents/carers.  The procedures which we follow have been laid down by the Local Authority and the school has adopted a Child Protection Policy in line with this for the safety of all. Reference copies of our policies are kept in the school office and will be available on the website.
