Safeguarding
At Cottage Grove Primary School, safeguarding is our number one priority and the responsibility of everybody. This page outlines the systems we have in place to ensure the safety of our pupils; it is not intended to replace our safeguarding policy, which can be found on the policies section of this website.
We are clear that safeguarding goes beyond just our statuary responsibility and it is essential that we maintain high standards of safeguarding practice across our school; to keep our children safe. In order to this, we constantly review our safeguarding systems to seek the best safeguarding practice.
If you require any further information on safeguarding or are in need of support, please do not hesitate to contact us via the school office, speaking to a member of staff or completing our online contact form.
