Safeguarding
The school maintains a high level of care for each student; enabling each individual to develop at a pace and manner appropriate to them.
St Thomas of Canterbury Catholic Primary School is committed to the safeguarding, protection and welfare of all our pupils.
We ensure all safeguarding and child protection arrangements are fit for purpose and this is a priority area for all staff. Systems and procedures are constantly evaluated to ensure that they remain robust and effective and that pupils are safe.
If you have any safeguarding concerns that you would like to talk about, please contact a member of the Safeguarding Team.
