Above all, you want your child to be safe and we aim to run the School carefully and with unobtrusive security.

At the same time, children should still be children and we want them to enjoy growing up, playing and using our wonderful buildings, facilities and grounds, with interesting school trips and outings.

We do not take any unnecessary risks but we do believe in preparing children for real life rather than wrapping them in a cocoon that is over-protective and means they miss out on valuable experiences. That said, parents always have the right to ask for their child to be excluded from any activity, but we do hope everyone will have a realistic approach to caring for their children.

In addition, all our staff are of course carefully checked, fully trained in and actively aware of all aspects of child care, safety and protection.   Our Child Protection Policy is regularly reviewed and always adhered to; you can view and download a copy from the Information section of this website.   

Safety and care is agreed as being everyone's responsibility but our Headmaster, Peter MacDougall, has overall accountability, as you would expect.

We are always happy to discuss health and safety and safeguarding issues with any parent.
