The arrangements for safeguarding are effective. Pupils know there is an adult they can speak to if they have concerns. They learn how to keep safe in person and online through the PSHE curriculum and some enrichment activities.

Staff are well trained to identify and report safeguarding concerns. Leaders carry out checks on adults who work at the school and manage allegations made about staff appropriately. Leaders respond to safeguarding concerns quickly and take appropriate actions, including referrals to outside agencies.
