Safeguarding

Northolt High School is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of all of our students. We believe that all children have the right to grow up safe from harm to enable them to have the best possible life chances. Everyone in our school community, including visitors and volunteers, has a responsibility to ensure that all of our students are safe.

Our safeguarding policy can be found here: Safeguarding Policy
