Safeguarding
At Higham Primary School, the safety and wellbeing of every child is our highest priority. We are committed to providing a safe and secure environment where children and adults feel confident about sharing any concerns.
Safeguarding is the responsibility of our whole school community. All staff, visitors, volunteers and students working within the school must report any safeguarding concerns to a member of the Designated Safeguarding Team.
Worried about a child?
If you are concerned about the safety or wellbeing of a child, please speak to a member of our safeguarding team or contact the school office on 01474 822535.
