Staff and governors at Woodside Academy fully understand the responsibilities and duties placed upon us to to safeguard and promote the security, safety and welfare of all pupils, staff and visitors to our school. We recognise that all staff, governors, volunteers and visitors have a full and active part to play in protecting pupils and adults within our school from harm.
We believe that our school should provide a safe, caring, positive and stimulating environment in which pupils can learn, staff can work and visitors can visit. They should also feel welcome and enjoy being part of our school community - one which promotes the social, physical and emotional well-being of each individual pupil and adult within it.
