Safeguarding

We take the safety of children very seriously and have five designated members of staff trained to level 3; they are Mrs Batorska, Mrs Samuel, Miss Wiscombe, Mrs Geldard, Mrs Gerard. If you are concerned about the welfare and safety of a child in or out of school please make contact via the school office. Thank you.

While the school is closed, due to the current coronavirus pandemic, we have set up a designated email to support families. This is checked daily by a safeguarding lead and will be passed on to relevant teachers or staff where necessary. The email address is Familysupport@stmarybridport.dorset.sch.uk

Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) (Wales)

Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) are traumatic events that affect children while growing up, such as suffering child maltreatment or living in a household affected by domestic violence, substance misuse or mental illness.

This short animated film has been developed to raise awareness of ACEs, their potential to damage health across the life course and the roles that different agencies can play in preventing ACEs and supporting those affected by them.

The film has been produced for Public Health Wales and Blackburn with Darwen Local Authority.
