Safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children is a priority at North Oxfordshire Academy. We are committed to providing a safe, supportive environment where students feel valued, listened to and able to seek help when they need it.
Safeguarding is everyone's responsibility. We work with students, parents, carers and relevant external agencies to help protect children from harm and support their wellbeing.
