Safeguarding and Wellbeing

Our aim is to provide every pupil with a safe and caring environment to give them the freedom to flourish.

The Headmaster, tutors, house staff, academic staff, and medical staff all play a front-line role in the pastoral care of our pupils and can be contacted at any time by parents with concerns or questions.

In addition, in line with legislation, St David’s College has appointed a small, dedicated Safeguarding team led by Mrs Sue Davies (sdavies@stdavidscollege.co.uk).

Mrs Davies started working at St David's College in 2005 as a part-time maths teacher. Since then she has been Head of Year, Tryfan House Mistress living onsite for 7 years, and is now Assistant Head (Pastoral) and Designated Safeguarding Person (DSP). Over the years, Mrs Davies has worked with many parents and external agencies, looking out for all of the pupils in our school and ensuring the very best pastoral care. Mrs Davies is supported by a dedicated safeguarding team that includes Mrs Gabriella Murphy, Mrs Hannah McGreevy (School Nurse), Mrs Sarah Mountford, Dr Robert Hughes and Mr Ross Williams.

The aim of the team is to ensure best practice in all aspects of child protection and pupil welfare across the School.

The school has close ties with the local Police Liaison Officer, who plays an important role in the GSE (Global Social Education) programme, and also with various other external agencies with whom we seek to work as often as possible.
