Child Protection
Our school, like all schools in Fife, is responsible for to ensure all aspects of a child’s health and wellbeing is being met. We aim to provide a safe and supportive environment and work together with other agencies to ensure that all children are safe and protected from harm. The school implements and adheres to Fife Council’s Child Protection Policy in all aspects of Child Protection and Care and Welfare. Our school has a Child Protection Co-ordinator (Sharon Clark, Headteacher) and a Depute Child Protection Co-ordinator (Karen Hopkins, Depute Headteacher) who will manage and respond to all child protection concerns raised.

Named Person
The Children and Young People (Scotland) Act 2014 includes making a Named Person available for every child, from birth until their 18th birthday (or beyond, if they are still in school). In most cases, the Named Person will not have to do anything more than they normally do in the course of their day-to-day work. Most children and young people get all the help and support they need from their families, from teachers and health practitioners, and from their wider communities – the Named Person does not change these roles. However, some families may need extra help and that’s where the Named Person comes in. This means that the child and their family have a single point of contact who can work with them to sort out any further help, advice or support if they need it. The Named Person for your child will be Sharon Clark (HT) or Karen Hopkins (DHT).
