Safeguarding Statement

At Uffington C of E Primary School, we are committed to providing a safe and secure environment for all our students. Safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children is at the core of everything we do. We have robust policies and procedures in place to ensure that all members of our school community are protected from harm and that any concerns are addressed promptly and effectively.

Our dedicated staff are trained to recognise the signs of abuse and neglect and know how to respond appropriately. We work closely with parents, carers, and external agencies to support the well-being of our students and to provide a nurturing and inclusive learning environment.

If you have any safeguarding concerns or would like more information about our safeguarding policies and procedures, please do not hesitate to contact our designated safeguarding lead who will be able to assist you.

Together, we can create a safe and supportive environment where every child can flourish and reach their full potential.
