Safeguarding

We recognise our moral and statutory responsibility to safeguard and promote the welfare of all pupils. We endeavour to provide a safe and welcoming environment where children and young people are respected and valued. We are alert to the signs of abuse and neglect and follow our procedures to ensure children and young people receive effective support, protection and justice.

The school’s Designated Safeguarding Lead is Mrs Tiffany Doughty Davis (Headteacher) and in her absence,  Miss Jenny Chadbourne (Deputy Headteacher) is the Deputy Designated Safeguarding Lead.  All safeguarding staff can be contacted via the School Office on 01458 250673 or by emailing office@HEPS.ppat365.org .  If you continue to be concerned about a young person, or the issue is more urgent, please contact:
