The Governors and staff of St Peter's Catholic Primary School are fully committed to safeguarding all of the children who belong to the school community. The school recognises its legal and moral duty to promote the well-being of children, protect them from harm, and respond to child abuse. Children learn best when they are healthy, safe and secure, when their individual needs are met, and when they have positive relationships with the adults caring for them. 

Parents and carers expect the school to provide a safe, secure and caring environment in which their children can flourish. To meet this expectation, the school implements a wide range of measures and policies. 

Children learn best when they are health, safe and secure, when their individual needs are met, and when they have positive relationships with the adults caring for them.  The school has a number of policies to keep children safe and well.  For more information please read our Child Protection and Safeguarding Policy in the Safeguarding Policies section.
