Safeguarding
We all have a statutory duty to “safeguard and promote the welfare of children”.
At OLASJ, every adult in school is committed to safeguarding and has a duty of care to ensure the safety and welfare of all of our children and their families.
We have a number of polices in place that contribute to our Safeguarding commitment, all of which can be downloaded below. Our Child Protection and Safeguarding Policy can be downloaded here

Our Chair of Governors is Rebecca Swann and can be contacted via the school office
