Schools Police Officer
The Academy has a dedicated Schools Officer who works closely with the Academy’s Safeguarding Team. The role of the Schools Officer is to engage with students and staff on important up-to-date information on policing and is the direct police contact for concerns raised. Although the Schools Officer is not based at the school, parents are able to contact PC Waite via the Academy to raise serious concerns. Any urgent matters should of course be made to 999 in the event of an emergency.
Equality of Opportunity and Diversity Statement

We respect all members of our academy community and value the differences between us. We are also committed to not only respecting but celebrating differences. We believe in establishing a safe, secure and open community in which we protect the individuals in our care and also can develop attitudes and philosophies where they may play their part in promoting equality in the wider communities in which they live, play and work.
