Safeguarding at Bangor Academy and Sixth Form College is central to our school ethos and an essential element of our school community.
Safeguarding begins with the school providing top class pastoral care to create a nurturing and safe environment where pupil development and wellbeing is promoted.
All staff at Bangor Academy and Sixth Form College seek to connect with our pupils and form positive relationships therefore every member of staff contributes to our high level of pastoral care. For this reason, our pupils feel happy and secure as part of our school community.
Our pastoral care system means that every pupil has a Form Tutor, Head of Year and Deputy Head of Year. Members of the Senior Leadership Team support this pastoral provision at every level.
Safeguarding also includes providing care to the point of intervention in cases of child protection.
