Care of Students Under 18

Under 18s and Safeguarding

The safety and welfare of all our students is very important to us, but especially for young learners under the age of 18 and any vulnerable adults.

The school Principal and Director of Studies, Pete Gibson, has overall responsibility for safeguarding (Designated Safeguarding Lead) and is assisted by our Accommodation and Welfare Officer, Luqueney Pearson (Designated Safeguarding Person).
