Safeguarding
At The Coppice School, we are fully committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children. Our school offers a warm and welcoming experience, and we work tirelessly to ensure our pupils are safe, happy, and supported in achieving their full potential.
Our Designated Safeguarding Leads are familiar with not only the pastoral issues that can affect young people and families, but also local, contextual issues that may currently be affecting our community. We work closely with outside agencies to put in the appropriate level of support for families who may need it.
If you are concerned about a child, please contact the school on 01772 336342 and speak with one of our DSLs.
Our Designated Safeguarding Leads are:
Sarah Seddon-Head Teacher
Danielle Alty-Deputy Head Teacher
Nicola Patterson-Pupil and Family Support Manager
