At Cornerstone, the safety, health, and happiness of every child stand at the heart of everything we do. We believe that a nurturing environment builds confident learners — and that true education thrives where children feel secure, valued, and cared for.

 

🩺 Health and Well-being

Our dedicated School Nurse is always on hand to provide first aid and immediate care to any student who may feel unwell during school hours. The sick bay is fully equipped for minor health concerns, ensuring that children receive comfort and attention right away.

 

In the event of a more serious medical situation, Cornerstone maintains a strong affiliation with a nearby hospital, allowing for quick and professional emergency response whenever necessary. Parents are promptly informed in all cases, as we believe communication and trust are essential to every child’s welfare.

 

We also teach students the importance of healthy habits — from good hygiene to staying hydrated and active — building a culture of care that extends beyond the classroom.

​

🧯 Safety and First Aid

Every member of staff is accredited in First Aid and Fire Safety, trained to handle emergencies with calmness and confidence. Regular fire drills and safety training sessions are conducted across all departments — Nursery, Primary, and Secondary — so that both staff and pupils understand how to respond safely and responsibly.

Our facilities are inspected regularly to ensure all safety measures — including fire extinguishers, alarms, and evacuation routes — meet the highest standards.

🧠 Safeguarding and Child Protection

Safeguarding at Cornerstone is not just a policy; it is a daily practice that guides every decision we make. Our teachers and administrative staff receive ongoing safeguarding training to help them identify and respond to any signs of emotional, physical, or social distress in students.

 

We maintain an open-door policy, encouraging children to speak freely to their teachers, school nurse, or pastoral staff whenever they need support. Every child deserves to feel heard, respected, and safe.

💻 Digital and Online Safety

In today’s digital world, protecting our children online is just as important as keeping them safe in person. We actively teach pupils responsible internet use — how to recognize online risks, protect their privacy, and use technology in positive ways.

 

Parents are also encouraged to stay informed and involved. To support this, we recommend the following expert resources for online safety guidance:
