  • Safeguarding

    At Archbishop Wake CE Primary School and Nursery, we are committed to safeguarding children.

    Safeguarding is seen as something that is the responsibility of everyone in school: staff, Governors, volunteers, visitors and also includes the children.

    The Designated Safeguarding Lead is Daniel Lasbury-Carter (Headteacher).

    The Deputy Designated Safeguarding Leads are Jackie Pitcher (Deputy Headteacher), Trudy Roach (Deputy Headteacher), Jenny Sampson (SENDCo), Lauren Root (Nursery manager), Charlotte Corfield (Pastoral Support Worker) and Debbie Walton-Smith (Pastoral Support Worker).

    On this page, you will find information about safeguarding in our school as well as useful information and websites for parents.
