Student Protection

At The Southport School, we are deeply committed to providing a positive and secure environment for all our students. Ensuring their safety, well-being, and happiness is at the core of everything we do.

We take great pride in maintaining a child safe environment where every student feels valued, respected, and supported. Our dedicated staff members are trained to promote positive relationships, foster a sense of belonging, and encourage open communication.

We have robust policies and procedures in place to prevent and address any concerns related to child safety, including thorough screening and training processes for all staff and volunteers. We actively promote awareness and education regarding child protection within our school community.

Should any student or parent have a concern or require assistance, we have a team of caring professionals readily available, and encourage you to make contact with the staff listed below. Our Student Protection Officers, along with our Headmaster, Mr. Andrew Hawkins, are here to listen, support, and take appropriate action when needed.

We believe that by creating a safe and nurturing environment, we empower our students to thrive academically, socially, and emotionally. Their well-being is our top priority, and we are committed to fostering a positive atmosphere that encourages growth, self-expression, and the pursuit of excellence.

At The Southport School, we strive to provide a child safe environment where every student can flourish, explore their passions, and build lifelong memories. Together, we create a community where every child feels safe, valued, and empowered to reach their full potential.
