Keeping our pupils safe and ensuring our school is a reliable, safe and welcoming place for every member of our school community is at the heart of all we do at Oak Hill.

We work hard to provide a caring, nurturing, and stimulating environment for every child and were delighted by  We recognise that all staff members have a full and active part in protecting children from harm.  

If you have a concern about the safety and well-being of a pupil, our Designated Safeguarding Lead (DSL) is the Headteacher, Mr Adam Greaves, the Deputy Designated Safeguarding Leads (DDSLs) are Mr Jason Avards and Mrs Jackie Edwards.
