Safeguarding

If you have a safeguarding concern regarding a student from this school and the school is closed, please refer to the link below where you can receive further guidance.


Please see below for more advice about how you can keep your child safe online, and for other safeguarding information.

Holyhead School is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of all its students. We believe that:
  • All children/young people have the right to be protected from harm
  • Children/young people need to be safe and to feel safe in school 
  • Children/young people need support which matches their individual needs, including those who may have experienced abuse
  • All children/young people have the right to speak freely and voice their values and beliefs 
  • All children/young people must be encouraged to respect each other’s values and support each other 
  • All children/young people have the right to be supported to meet their emotional, and social needs as well as their educational needs – a happy healthy sociable child/young person will achieve better educationally 
  • Schools can and do contribute to the prevention of abuse, victimisation, bullying (including homophobic, bi-phobic, trans-phobic and cyber-bullying), exploitation, extreme behaviours, discriminatory views and risk-taking behaviours 
  • All staff and visitors have an important role to play in safeguarding children and protecting them from abuse
