The School's Governing Body and Senior Leadership Team recognise and accept their responsibilities, as responsible employers and as persons in control of premises, to provide a safe and healthy working environment for all staff and students.  The Governors require the Leadership Team to ensure the maintenance, and oversee the operation, of a suitable organisational structure to fulfil their priorities in respect of Health & Safety.

Overall responsibility for the day to day management of Health & Safety in the school rests with the Headteacher, as manager of the establishment and of all the activities carried on within the School.

The Headteacher delegates responsibility for co-ordinating Health & Safety matters to the Health & Safety Co-ordinator.
