Hello, I am Emily Poole and I am the Pastoral & Safeguarding Lead. My role in school is to provide support, advice and information to the families within our school community ... I am also a designated safeguarding leader. I can help you with any worries that you may have in relation to your child's education, behaviour and wellbeing. I am also here as someone to talk to if you need it!
Advice and support is confidential although concerns relating to the safeguarding of children will always be dealt with in accordance with the school's Safeguarding and Child Protection Policy.
I may not have all the answers, but hopefully I can help you to work out how to find them!
