Child Protection
Everyone who works or volunteers in school has a duty to keep children safe and to inform the child protection lead (Mr Hutchings) if they have any concerns about the welfare of a child. In Mr Hutchings's absence, Miss May deputises as CP lead. Mrs Didcott is our governor for child protection and can be contacted via the school.
