At St Peter's School, we are passionate about safeguarding and put children's wellbeing at the centre of everything that we do.  We utilise links with organisations such as the NSPCC and Plymouth Action for Children to ensure that children have a range of educational opportunities to keep themselves safe- this includes following Jigsaw PSHE curriculum and having focused lessons on relationship and sex education as well as online safety.

We are privileged to have a highly experienced safeguarding team who support the welfare of our children and families. If you have any concerns or would like to speak to any of our we can be contacted through the school office and our direct contact details are available in the safeguarding policy below.
