At Victor Seymour the health and safety of all children is of paramount importance.
Parents send their children to school each day with the expectation that school provides a secure environment in which their children can flourish. We therefore have to ensure that this expectation becomes reality. In order to do this we aim to create a culture where everyone is vigilant about safeguarding children and that the whole school community knows the policies and procedures to follow in order to keep our children safe from all forms of harm.
To do this we have a number of policies and procedures to ensure measures are put in place.
