Safeguarding

Safeguarding the well-being of our pupils is of the utmost importance in Fountain Primary School. We believe that all children have the basic right to receive their education in a proactive and caring environment. This should be free from humiliation, oppression and all forms of abuse: emotional, sexual, physical, neglect and exploitation. The welfare of the child is paramount in all that we do.

Our Child Protection Policy aims to support the child's development in ways which will foster security, confidence, and independence. It is central to the well-being of the pupils and is seen as an essential part of all aspects of the curriculum.

Our Safeguarding Team is made up of the following:

Mr William Lynn

-Chairman of the Board of Govenors
-Church Representative (St. Columb's Cathedral)

Mr Derek Moore
