At St Martins School we are committed to your safety; keeping you safe both in and outside of school is vital to the work that we do.

Within our pastoral structure the first port of call for the needs of your child will be their tutor and their Head of House. This team of staff is able to support with initial concerns that may be present and help promote well-being, healthy attendance patterns, and support in friendship needs.

For both pupils and families we also have access to The Well-Being Hub, a service accessed online. Here you can find advice and support on a huge range of needs; workshops are also available to help with the all the challenges that can come our way.

All pupils will be able to access this fantastic service through log-in details provided in their PSE lessons. For any parents wishing to have a log in to access directly, please contact the Student Support Services team via reception@stm.318education.co.uk.

Our Student Support Services (SSS),  made up of Designated Safeguarding Leads (DSLs) has specific additional training to work with students and families on safeguarding matters. The expertise and experience within this team ensures that we are able to give advice and support on even the most sensitive and challenging of issues. We work closely with additional outside agencies to ensure that, where appropriate, any services that may also be able to give help may be brought in to give your child the best help possible.
