Safeguarding at St Mary's Catholic Primary School

At St Mary's Catholic Primary School, we recognise that your child's safety and welfare are our main priorities. As a Voluntary Aided school, we are committed to working in partnership with you to ensure your child's well-being and to celebrate their successes together.

Our Commitment to Safeguarding

Rooted in the Gospel values of love, respect, and inclusion, we strive to provide an emotionally safe and welcoming environment where every child can learn and thrive. We follow the OFSTED inspection framework and have a robust Child Protection Policy in place, aligned with the Telford & Wrekin Area Child Protection Committee's procedures.

Working in Partnership with Families

We believe that working closely with parents and carers is essential for supporting your child's development and addressing any concerns that may arise. Our dedicated team, led by Mrs Lambie and Mrs Griffiths, is here to listen, offer guidance, and work alongside you to ensure your child's safety and well-being.

Putting Children First

In rare instances, our primary concern for your child's welfare may mean that we need to consult other agencies before contacting you. We understand that this can be a sensitive situation, but please be assured that we always have your child's best interests at heart and will strive to keep you informed throughout the process.

Promoting a Culture of Safeguarding

At St Mary's, safeguarding is embedded in every aspect of school life. We prioritise attendance and punctuality, maintain high expectations for behaviour and respect, and empower our children to stay safe online and in the community. By modelling the Gospel values and fostering a culture of care, we aim to nurture responsible, thoughtful, and well-skilled members of the future workforce.

If you have any questions or concerns about safeguarding at our school, please don't hesitate to speak with Mrs Lambie or Mrs Griffiths. We are here to support you and your family, and to work together in ensuring the safety and well-being of all our pupils.
