    Safeguarding (Child Protection)

    • Our Safeguarding Policy is available for parents to read and this sets out the procedures we follow if a situation arises
    • Good communication between home and school is very important, so please tell us if your child has had an accident or is upset about something at home
    • We have a legal duty to report to Lewisham Social Services situations where we believe children to be at risk

    Other agencies

    We work closely with other agencies to provide the support needed by our children and families. We are also helped by an educational psychologist (who visits three times a term), an Educational Social Worker who monitors attendance and punctuality and a child mental health specialist. The educational psychology service is provided through Lewisham Children’s Services. We also have an in house therapist.
