Safeguarding
Hinchley Wood School is committed to ensuring the welfare and safety of all our children in school. Students have a right to learn in a supportive, caring and safe environment which includes the right to protection from all types of abuse.
Hinchley Wood School follows the Surrey Safeguarding guidelines.
