Safeguarding 

We are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expect all staff, volunteers and external agencies to share this commitment. All applicants undergo a thorough selection process, including background checks to ensure their suitability to work with children. All staff members receive comprehensive safeguarding training to ensure they are aware of and understand the signs of abuse, the school’s procedures for reporting concerns, and their role in creating a safe environment. Our school promotes an open culture where everyone, including staff, pupils, and parents, is encouraged to share any concerns they may have regarding the welfare of our pupils. 

Equality, Diversity and Inclusion 

In our school community, we celebrate and embrace diversity as a source of strength. We are committed to fostering an inclusive environment that values and respects all individuals. Our mission is to create a culture of equity where everyone feels heard, seen, and valued. We strive to eliminate bias and promote equal opportunities for learning and growth. Join us in cultivating a school where diversity is not only acknowledged but cherished, and where every student and staff member can thrive. 

Professional Standards 

At Marjory Kinnon School, we uphold the highest professional standards to create a positive and inclusive learning environment for our pupils. All staff are expected to adhere to our Code of Conduct which guides our professional behaviour and ensures that every member of our team operates with integrity, treats others with respect, and upholds the ethical standards that define our school.
