At St Andrew's Church of England Primary School, we understand that the children's health and safety is of paramount importance. We aim to ensure that the school provides a secure environment in which their children can flourish. We regularly review the procedures we have in place to ensure the safety and welfare of all our pupils and staff is upheld to the highest standard. All our pupils know that they are valued and that any concerns they have will be taken seriously and addressed by the adults who care for them. 

Governors and all staff have had appropriate child protection training, which is regularly updated.
