Similarly, if parents have concerns regarding the welfare of any pupil, the Designated Safeguarding Lead (DSL) should be contacted. All staff members receive annual training regarding child protection and the surrounding issues.
The Designated Safeguarding Lead (DSL), for the school is Tara Pandey (Assistant Head Pastoral). The Deputy Designated Safeguarding Leads are Jemma Winterton (Kindergarten Leader), Andrea Beasley (Nursery Manager) and Georgina Cooke-Priest (Head of Learning Support). The Head has overall responsibility for any child protection issues.
