Safety & Well-Being

Child Protection Policy

Child Protection Policy

Every adult on campus has a duty to notice, report and act if a child is at risk of harm.

• Staff, visitors and vendors follow a written code of conduct around students.
• Any concern — neglect, abuse, unexplained injury or a child’s disclosure — is reported the same day to the designated officer.
• The school keeps the child’s dignity first: private conversations, no public shaming, no confrontation with the alleged person by the child.
• Parents are informed as soon as it is safe and lawful to do so.

Ask the office for the named Child Protection Officer for the current session.

POCSO Committee

POCSO Committee

A standing committee under the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences Act, to receive and route complaints without delay.

• The committee includes staff members trained to hear a child without interrogation or blame.
• Complaints can come from a student, parent or any staff member — written or spoken.
• The school cooperates with parents and, where required, with the police and child-welfare authorities.
• Committee names and a contact number are displayed near the office and medical room.

POCSO is a legal duty, not an optional school rule. Silence is not protection.

Anti-Bullying Policy

Anti-Bullying Policy

Bullying — physical, verbal, social or online — is treated as a safeguarding issue, not “just teasing”.

• Students are taught what bullying looks like and how to tell a trusted adult.
• Class teachers and house staff record repeated incidents; one serious event is enough to start a process.
• Responses range from counselling and parent meetings to formal discipline, depending on harm and intent.
• The target of bullying is supported first. The student who harmed others is also given a clear path to change.

Grievance Redressal

Grievance Redressal

A clear ladder so a concern does not stop at the first closed door.

• Start with the class teacher or wing in-charge for day-to-day classroom issues.
• If unresolved, write to the designated grievance officer or the Principal’s office.
• Complaints are acknowledged, looked into, and closed with a written or spoken reply within a stated number of working days.
• Anonymous notes are read; named complaints can be investigated more fully.

Fee, transport and document queries can also go through the school office during published hours.

Cyber Safety

Cyber Safety

Phones, labs and home screens are part of school life. So is the duty to use them without harming others.

• Lab and device rules cover passwords, sharing images, and speaking to strangers online.
• Cyber bullying is handled under the anti-bullying and child-protection routes.
• Students are taught not to circulate photographs or messages that shame a classmate.
• Parents are asked to keep devices visible at home during exam and late-evening hours.

Disaster Management

Disaster Management

Drills and a written plan so fire, earthquake or a medical emergency is not the first time anyone thinks.

• Evacuation routes and assembly points are marked on each floor.
• Fire and earthquake drills run at least as often as the session plan requires.
• Staff know who shuts labs, who counts a class, and who calls emergency services.
• Transport staff have a separate briefing for accidents on the road.

First Aid

First Aid

A medical room and trained staff for the ordinary injuries of a school day — and a path to hospital when needed.

• A nurse or designated first-aider is available during school hours.
• Basic first-aid kits sit in the medical room, sports area and selected labs.
• Parents are called for anything beyond routine care; emergency contacts must stay current.
• Allergy, asthma and other chronic conditions should be declared at admission and updated each session.

School Safety Committee

School Safety Committee

A campus group that reviews buildings, transport, drills and incident reports through the year.

• Membership typically includes the Principal or nominee, admin, a teacher, and a parent representative.
• The committee walks the campus for hazards, reviews drill records and follows up on reported incidents.
• Recommendations go to the management for repair, training or a change in routine.
• Parents may write to the committee through the school office.
