Safeguarding

We are committed to ensuring children at Holy Trinity Primary Academy are safe. Safeguarding our school community is of paramount importance and underpins all our work. All staff, governors and volunteers receive appropriate safeguarding and child protection training which is regularly updated.

All staff at Holy Trinity Primary Academy have a statutory responsibility to report any disclosures or concerns where a child may be subject to, or at risk of, significant harm.

All policies relating to safeguarding and child protection are located in policies:
