Safeguarding at Alleyne’s Academy
At Alleyne’s Academy, safeguarding our students is our top priority. In line with section 115 of the Education Act 2002 (and section 157 for academies), and the Children Act 1989, we have robust policies and procedures in place to protect the welfare of every student.
