Safeguarding

At Ashford School we are dedicated to ensuring that all pupils feel safe, cared for and happy.  Safeguarding the pupils is at the centre of what we do every day and is so much more than just a policy.  We listen, we notice, and we communicate.  A happy child will succeed.

A Designated Safeguarding Lead is assigned to each section of the School. Each Designated Safeguarding Lead serves as the main point of contact for all relative safeguarding concerns and students, parents and staff are welcome to contact them at any point.
