At Sherard School, our first priority is the safety and security of all our students. This is called Safeguarding.  If you or anyone you know is at risk of harm, then you must let a member of staff know. You can tell any member of staff about your concerns. They can pass it on to a member of the Safeguarding team. The e mail address for non urgent matters is [email protected] but it is always best to talk to one of the team in person.  

Sherard School also says No to bullying. It is the right of all children at School to feel safe and secure without fear of bullying. 

Our Safeguarding Policy and Anti bullying policy can be found on the website under Policies.
