Safeguarding

Our commitment to safeguarding at PGHS means that we care for the physical and emotional wellbeing of every pupil, and the procedures, policies and practices that we adopt protect our pupils from harm, abuse or neglect. We aim to provide a supportive environment where each pupil can thrive and develop as a unique person and adopt a positive attitude to health, fitness and self-image. This also means that everyone can feel confident in reporting any concern regarding the welfare of a pupil or behaviour of a member of staff to one of the people listed below.

It is essential for every pupil to feel that they are an important part of the community able to contribute to the life of the school. Each pupil’s happiness and wellbeing is of the upmost importance to members of staff and to other pupils. Our safeguarding commitment is upheld by staff, volunteers and governors, and regular training and testing is undertaken to ensure that we align with government guidance such as Keeping Children Safe in Education and Working Together to Safeguard Children.
