Safeguarding

At Leadgate Primary School, we regard the safeguarding of children as our main priority. We believe that we all have the right to be happy, to be safe and to learn. We all have the responsibility to make this happen. In order to do this we need the support of all staff, parents, carers, visitors and the wider community. If you have any concerns about the safety and welfare of our children please inform us immediately. 

Do not keep concerns to yourself, we would rather hear too many times that not at all – we are here to support every child.
