As a School we do all that we can to promote the welfare of pupils and to ensure that children are protected from harm both within the School and beyond our direct control. The School recognises that we have a duty to protect children at risk of harm and also those children who need extra help, including children in the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS).

As the post will involve regulated activity with children, it is a criminal offence to apply for this post if you are included on the children’s barred list held by the DBS.
