Safeguarding
At Archbishop Wake CE Primary School 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.
On this page, you will find information about safeguarding in our school as well as useful information and websites for parents.
