For any safeguarding concerns, please call school on 01772 717782 to speak to a member of the safeguarding team or email us via safe@archbishoptemple.com so we can get in touch.
We take pride in listening to all our pupils and by ensuring that they feel supported on a daily basis, to enable them to ‘Live Life in All its Fullness’ (John 10:10). We encourage all pupils to live out our school motto to ‘Shine God’s Light through Faith, Nurture and Service’ so they can make the most out of their time at school. We know that there are occasions when pupils need additional help and support about things that are worrying them and need someone to talk to.
We encourage pupils to use the ‘Whisper’ button, accessed via Firefly, which allows them to voice any concerns they may have about issues such as; friendships, well-being or exam stress, as well as safeguarding concerns. Reports can be made anonymously if pupils wish, but all reports are responded to and acted upon.
Pupils can also email safeguarding concerns to: safe@archbishoptemple.com
Both systems are closely monitored by the safeguarding team and senior leadership team so that any issues that arise are responded to promptly.
safe@archbishoptemple.com is NOT an emergency service. Any information pupils share will be acted on within school, working hours (8:20am to 3pm). We aim to respond to all concerns within of 1 working day (during term time).
