At Alverton Community Primary School we respect and value all children and are committed to providing a caring, friendly, and safe environment for all our pupils so they can learn, in a relaxed and secure atmosphere.
We believe every pupil should be able to participate in all school activities in an enjoyable and safe environment and be protected from harm. This is the responsibility of every adult employed by or invited to deliver services at Alverton Community Primary School.
We recognise our responsibility to safeguard all who access school and promote the welfare of all our pupils by protecting them from physical, sexual and emotional abuse, neglect and bullying.
At Alverton we put keeping children safe at the heart of all we do.
We are proud to be an Operation Encompass School
