All members of the Betty Layward Primary School community believe that safeguarding and student welfare are the highest priority and work together to ensure that all measures are taken to ensure the safety of our students on a daily basis.

Our school promotes a rich and diverse learning experience for all students and our staff and governors work hard to ensure the needs of each individual student are met and cared for.
