Safeguarding Curriculum

We are committed to ensuring that our pupils are offered a broad and balanced curriculum that aims to prepare them for life in modern Britain. Teaching the school’s core values alongside the fundamental British Values supports quality teaching and learning, whilst making a positive contribution to the development of a fair, just and civil society.

We ensure that children are taught about keeping themselves safe through our comprehensive PSHE curriculum which is in line with the statutory requirements for Relationship Education and Health Education. In addition we deliver these messages through assemblies, circle times and P4C lessons.

Relationships Education for primary pupils covers the characteristics of healthy relationships, building the knowledge and understanding that will enable children to model these behaviours.

The NSPCC visit every other year to deliver Speak Out Stay Safe assemblies for all children and workshops for Years 5 and 6. We are currently delivering these via the online assemblies and teachers are delivering the workshops using materials produced by the NSPCC. Speak out Stay safe helps children at school and at home learn about their rights, what’s OK and no OK, and what to do if they’re ever worried or scared.

As part of the curriculum we deliver the NSPCC PANTS lessons to all pupils. Talk PANTS helps children understand that their body belongs to them, and they should tell someone they trust if anything makes them feel upset or worried.

We use Google Interland to support messages around Online Safety.

Teachers should let the designated safeguarding lead and other relevant staff know when they are teaching these topics, so they are prepared to support pupils who disclose or are affected by the issues raised
Please refer to our PSHE and RSE Policies for further details.
