Our staff want to make sure that all pupils are happy and feel safe in our school

All our staff agree that we should:

1. Treat pupils with respect.
2. Involve pupils in decisions that affect them.
3. Notice when someone is feeling worried or upset.
4. Listen to our pupils when they need us to.

All of our pupils should be able to name 3 adults they can trust to talk to in school for any reason, whether it be a question or a problem.
