The staff and governors of Glenmead Primary School are committed to the highest standards in protecting and safeguarding the children entrusted to our care. We work closely with Birmingham Children's Trust and the Education and Skills Directorate at Birmingham City Council in order to work to the statutory frameworks and the most up-to-date national guidance. All adults in school recognise the importance of working together to keep our children safe from harm, understanding that keeping children safe is everybody's business.
If you are concerned about the immediate safety of a child, phone 999.
