Concerned about a child’s safety or wellbeing

For most school related concerns regarding children at KNGS you should contact your child’s form tutor first via enquiry@kngs.co.uk or 0121 6751305 stating the reason for the contact, the name of the child and the form tutor if known.

If you are concerned about a child’s safety or wellbeing you should contact Mr Charlett Deputy, Headteacher and the Designated Safeguarding Lead (DSL) via the school’s main reception phone number 0121 675 1305 stating it is a safeguarding concern. If the school feel it appropriate, we will make a referral to the Birmingham children’s trust via CASS.
