The safety and wellbeing of all children and young people is of paramount importance. At St Mark's School we regard the safeguarding of our children as our main priority. Parents and carers send their children to school each day with the expectation that the school provides a safe and secure environment in which the children can florish. We have to ensure that this expectation becomes reality. In order to achieve this, a wide range of measures and additional policies are put into place.
At St Mark's we will ensure that:
