The wellbeing of our pupils, staff and wider school community is very important to us at Fulbourn primary School. We believe that children learn best when they feel happy, safe and secure. We all need some help or advice from time time and at Fulbourn we want you to know that you can talk to any member of staff about any difficulties you or your child may be experiencing. We have a dedicated Pastoral Support Team: Nichola Grove, Kerry Middleditch and Alison Monk, and you should not hesitate to reach out to any one of us to discuss anything you would like support with.

You are welcome to drop by the school office to speak to our Pastoral Team or you can contact us on 01223 712525 or email us at pastoralteam@fulbourn.cambs.sch.uk to arrange an appointment to discuss your concern.

Support and Help When You're Worried

A safeguarding concern is when a child or young person is living in circumstances where there is a risk of physical, sexual, emotional abuse or neglect. If you think a child or young person is at risk, you can talk to one of our designated safeguarding leads via the school office at office@fulbourn.cambs.sch.uk or on 01223 712525.

You can find more about our approach to safeguarding here: Fulbourn Primary School - Safeguarding

You can also talk directly to social care by calling: 0345 045 5203

IF YOU THINK A CHILD IS IN IMMEDIATE DANGER AND NEEDS URGENT HELP, PLEASE CALL THE POLICE ON 999.
