Safeguarding Statement
Our Federation of Mrs Bland's Infant and Nursery School and Garland Junior School is committed to ensuring the safety of all pupils. The Senior Leadership Team and Governing Board make it their priority to provide an environment where all pupils feel safe and secure.
As part of our ongoing commitment, the schools:- Follow rigorous procedures for the safe recruitment of staff

- Provide a curriculum which equips pupils with the skills they need to stay safe. This is provided through a varied PSHE curriculum and regular e-safety sessions
