Our school curriculum includes a bespoke Personal Development curriculum which incorporates Relationships, Sex and Health Education (RSHE) as well as Character and British Values.   The development of this curriculum ensures that children are well supported in their social, emotional and wellbeing development.  We recognise that all children need to feel nurtured and safe in their school environment so that they can be happy, engaged, motivated learners who are able to have successful relationships with their peers and adults around the school.

Our school takes safeguarding children seriously; providing a safe and secure culture where all voices are heard and listened to.  Our safeguarding systems are rigorous for identification and following up when concerns are evident.  Our staff have access to annual safeguarding training (e.g. child protection, extremism and radicalisation, mental health, attachment and trauma) which contributes to the wellbeing of all.

Our school celebrates the rich and diverse community that we serve.  For more information, please take a look at our Equality Information and Objectives document which can be found in the policies section on our website.
