At Bare Trees Primary School, we are committed to safeguarding children and young people and we expect  that everyone who works and visits our school shares this commitment. 

The school acronym demonstrates our commitment to promoting the wellbeing and safety of all individuals:   

  Brave       Aspirational     Resilience       Equal        Together       Respectful    Enthusiastic     Enriched      Safe

Adults in our school take all welfare and safeguarding concerns seriously and we encourage children to talk to us about anything that worries them.
