At Kingsley St John's we taking our safeguarding and child protection duty extremely seriously. Children need to feel safe and be safe in order to flourish and live life in all its fullness.

Our aim is that all may flourish and have an abundant life. Schools have a duty to try to remove any factor that might represent a hindrance to a child’s fulfilment.We want all pupils to willingly engage in learning in a safe and welcoming environment.'
