Safeguarding | Diogelu
The safeguarding of pupils is the highest priority of the school.
Every adult in the school is trained in safeguarding and we
have a clearly understood referral system where concerns are
addressed quickly. We take the prevention of bullying seriously
and use our ‘CHAT’ team (Confidentiality, Honesty, Advice, Trust)
of peer mentors to help resolve conflicts and promote positive
relationships. All pupils can speak to any member of staff at
Olchfa, and be listened to, if they have any concerns.

Pastoral Support | Cefnogaeth Bugeiliol
In addition to their form tutors, pupils are supported by an
excellent pastoral team including Pastoral Guidance Workers,
Learning Coaches, Key Stage Managers and a Pupil Welfare
