Like all good schools, St Pauls JMI takes the safety and wellbeing of the pupils in their care very seriously. But a school's view of safety is very different to that of a four year old that is out on the playground for the very first time. So as well as having a whole raft of safety policies and procedures, designed to keep her pupils safe, the headteacher has set up some mechanisms to help her pupils feel safe too. These include a playground patrol, pier mediators and bubble time; a mechanism for allowing pupils to request time to talk with their teacher privately about anything that might be on their mind.
