Assunnah Primary School is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of all children.  To achieve our commitment, we will ensure continuous development and improvement of robust safeguarding processes and procedures that promote a culture of safeguarding amongst our staff, governors and volunteers.

We are committed to inspiring, challenging and safeguarding our pupils, enabling them to become:

• Successful learners, who enjoy learning, make progress and achieve.
• Confident, well-rounded individuals who can live safe, healthy and fulfilling lives.
• Responsible British Muslim citizens who will make a positive contribution, both socially and economically, to society.

This is best achieved when we all work together to support the whole child’s development. We pride ourselves on knowing not just about our children’s learning but about them and their families as individuals and valued members of our school community.
