Stalyhill Junior School

Stalyhill Junior School fully recognises its responsibilities for Child Protection and Safeguarding. All staff, including temporary staff and volunteers are subject to stringent background checks including clearance with the Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) to ensure their suitability for working with children.

Whilst the prime focus of Stalyhill Junior School is to secure the best educational provision for the child, the school believes that the safety, welfare and care of children is paramount. We are therefore committed to the highest standards in protecting and safeguarding the children entrusted into our care at all times.

The Child Protection Liaison Person (CPLP) is the Executive Headteacher, Mrs L Lockett.

The CPLP Deputy is the Head of School, Mrs A Stewart-Milne.

The nominated Child Protection Governor is Mrs R Anderson.
