There may be occasions, however, when students experience or witness serious issues that can impact on their wellbeing and that of others. In these situations, it is important that the School works to provide or arrange support as quickly as possible, either within school or in conjunction with partner agencies.
If additional help is needed, we have a dedicated Safeguarding Group that will work with students, parents and external professionals to ensure that the appropriate support is in place.
