At Maidensbrige Primary School, we are all committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of all children and young people within our school grounds and beyond.

The school has a Child Protection and Safeguarding policy which can be viewed by visiting our Policies page on this website. Alternatively, we are happy to supply this document on request from the school office.

If you are concerned about a child, then you can come and speak to Mrs Thomas at anytime.

You can also speak to any of the Deputy Designated Safeguarding Leads for our school.
