Student Welfare

The Academy has a range of policies and procedures in place that ensure the welfare of all of our students. Several of these policies set out expectations about good behaviour.  This means everyone feels safe and can learn, this includes good learning behaviour around the Academy and in lessons and also rules about how you communicate and behave appropriately towards other students and staff.

The safety and welfare of our girls is of paramount importance at HAB.

All staff members receive extensive training in this and the girls’ curriculum covers a variety of safety and wellbeing topics.

The Academy will work hard to reduce all the kinds of harm that children can suffer, including abuse, bullying, discrimination and avoidable injuries. If you have any concerns at all about the safety or welfare of a child please do not hesitate to contact us.

For more information, it may be useful to refer to the following documents which inform all policies and processes for safeguarding at HAB: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/keeping-children-safe-in-education--2
