Safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children is everyone’s responsibility. Everyone who comes into contact with children and their families has a role to play.
Highwood Primary School is committed to providing an environment in which every child feels safe and can reach their full potential. We do this through having robust systems in place to follow up on all incidents, always remaining vigilant and taking the approach “it does happen here“.
If you are a pupil at the school and are concerned about something (no matter how small) or if you have any concerns about a pupil at the school, you can contact the following school team members:
The Designated Safeguarding Lead for Child Protection is Bindu Rai.
The Deputy Designated Safeguarding Lead is Zahidah Dodwell.
The Designated Safeguarding Leads are Lynda Marriott and Sarah Kenny.
Alternatively, you can come and see us in person at school or you can complete the form that the Office team will provide. Please ensure you put your name and contacts details if you would like us to respond to you (you may report anonymously if you wish).
If anyone is in immediate danger, please ensure you call 999
