Nothing is more important to us than the safety and wellbeing of the children at Meadow Bank.

  • Our Designated Safeguarding Leads (DSL) are: Mrs Horsbrough (Head of School), Miss Todd (Pastoral Manager), Mrs Dooling (Learning Mentor) and Miss Sutcliffe (Learning Mentor) 

  • Our governor with responsibility for safeguarding is Tracy Isherwood (Chair of Governors).

  • Gary Crompton is the Trust Designated Safeguarding Lead and Louise Terzza is Trustee for safeguarding. 


What should I do if I have a safeguarding concern?

Keeping children safe is everyone’s responsibility. If you believe a student at Meadow Bank is at risk of abuse YOU MUST report it. Please call or email the school and ask to speak to a member of the safeguarding team.
