Safety, Care & Safeguarding

Safety deserves clear questions and clear answers.

Safeguarding is daily practice, not a web claim. Ask us how we keep children safe, and we will walk you through the current details when you visit.

Safety & Safeguarding: practical information for families.

01

Everyday safeguarding

Children need adults who remain attentive, use respectful language, protect personal boundaries and respond to distress. You can know who is responsible and how concerns are recorded and escalated.

  • Every staff member is police-verified.
  • The campus has CCTV.
  • Active adult supervision in the spaces children use.
  • Age-appropriate personal-care boundaries.
  • Respectful behaviour guidance without humiliation.
  • A named route for a parent to raise a concern promptly.

02

Arrival and collection

The handover between family and school is a critical safety moment. Ask the office to explain the current process for arrival, authorised collection, late changes and unfamiliar pickup adults.

  • Who may collect the child.
  • How a same-day change is verified.
  • How attendance and handover are recorded.
  • What happens when a parent is delayed.

03

Health, privacy and emergencies

You can share relevant health information and receive a current explanation of the school response. Child images and personal information should be handled carefully.

  • Children bring their own food. Parents tell the school about allergies and health needs in writing.
  • The admission form asks for your consent to photographs, and you can withdraw it.
  • How allergies, medicines and illness are communicated.
  • How families are contacted in an urgent situation.
  • How photo permission and child information are managed.
  • Which current emergency procedures apply at the campus.

Parent FAQ

Straight answers.

For anything that changes by year, such as fees or availability, the office gives you the current answer.

Ask the office during your visit. Operational procedures can change, so the school should confirm the current arrival, pickup, health and emergency arrangements directly.

Share relevant allergies, medical needs, communication needs, authorised pickup adults and anything that may affect settling or safety.

Contact the school office promptly, describe the specific event and ask who is responsible for reviewing and responding to the concern.
