BHSA is committed to ensuring the safety and well-being of all our students at all times. We work within the guidelines of our Safeguarding and Social Networking Policies and ensure that any visitors to our school are made aware of these policies also. All those who work at BHSA have a current enhanced DBS certificate. Should you require any aspect of these policies explaining further, please contact the School Administrator bhsa@birkhs.gdst.net  and we will respond to your request.
