Commitment to safeguarding

Our School is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of its pupils and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. All successful candidates will be subject to a disclosure of criminal records at an enhanced level. Any offer of employment, or agreement to volunteer, is subject to receipt of satisfactory references and DBS checks. In line with KCSIE 2022, online searches will be carried out on all shortlisted candidates. The search is not part of the shortlisting process itself, and candidates will have a chance to address any issues of concern during the search at interview.
