Safeguarding

Middleton St Mary's CE (VC) Primary School is committed to safeguarding and promoting the wellbeing of all of its pupils. Each pupil’s welfare is of paramount importance and we expect all members of the school community to share this commitment.

We also ask that parents support school with this message and that parents feel empowered to know how to keep your safe online. Her are some links to parental controls. Please take a look:
