Safeguarding

Safeguarding the mental and physical wellbeing of our children is absolutely central to all that we do at Spring Meadow. We understand that safeguarding is more than simply looking out for signs of abuse, so we take a proactive approach to keeping our children safe through our curriculum and the provision of wider support and guidance to our families. In this way we have created an exceptional culture of safeguarding and care at our school.

We have invested heavily in ensuring that staff across our school have been adequately trained to support our school community. Please contact any of us if you have any concerns about a child or family at our school.
