As a school, we are dedicated to keeping our students safe and well. Hylands School offers many opportunities for students to learn about healthy and safe life choices and works hard to provide a caring and supportive environment. We recognise that some students may need more support than others and have a strong pastoral team to ensure that students feel nurtured and listened to.
Students are at risk as young people from a range of potentially harmful situations. Our staff are trained regularly about how to recognise any signs of risk of harm and student safety.
