Safeguarding
If you have a safeguarding concern you should contact the school office in the usual way. If you are unable to do this, please email safeguarding@ thetauntonacademy.com and we will get back to you as soon as possible. If your concern is urgent, you should consider contacting the emergency services or the Children’s Social Care duty team on 03001232224.
At Pyrland School, we recognise that keeping our students safe and promoting their wellbeing is of paramount importance and it scaffolds all we do as a school. If you have any concerns at all, please contact our Designated Safeguarding Leads Jenny Webb or Lucy Dan, during term time.
