KS Code
I will remember how lucky I am and do my best at everything. I will remember to do something creative every day. I will respect others and their possessions. I will try to always be fair and honest and to seek to forgive. I will say nothing that will be hurtful to others. I will remember to recycle, reduce and reuse. I will remember to walk fast and not to run. I will remember to treat others as I wish to be treated myself. If I have any worries I will talk to an adult I trust. I will remember that giving and sharing are the best feelings in the world. I will try not to let others feel lonely. I will remember to strive for a healthy body and a healthy mind.

Safeguarding Children at Knightsbridge School with the KS Code The safeguarding and welfare of children is the very highest priority of Knightsbridge School and we have policies and procedures in place to ensure this happens. Our KS Code encourages all individuals to talk to someone they trust about any worries or concerns they may have.
The designated safeguarding leads (DSL) are: Gillian Conlon (Lead) Julia Bromage (Deputy)
We are a listening and telling school. However, if there is a situation where an individual wishes to talk to someone outside the school in total confidence, the services of Child Line are available for all children on 0800 1111 24 hours a day or on www.childline.org.uk. I will treat others, as I would like to be treated We need to tell each other the truth and be able to accept what others say. If I have any worries, I will talk to an adult I trust We are a telling school; reporting bullying is not sneaking or snitching.
