Safeguarding Curriculum
There is a planned curriculum for safeguarding. This teaches your children how to keep themselves safe and what to do if any adult makes them feel unsafe. This curriculum covers many key aspects about how children can be safe and is mainly delivered through our Jigsaw scheme of learning but is further supported by external organisations such as Childline, KOOTH, NSPCC as well as work through assemblies and enrichment days and weeks.
Our curriculum gives pupils opportunities: to experience life in all its diversity; to acquire knowledge; understanding and skills that significantly impact on personal development, behaviour and welfare. Our PHSE curriculum covers all areas of Safeguarding through each of the strands but is sensitive in recognise that some subjects are more sensitive subjects than others and need to be taught at an age-appropriate level, or within a small group or 1:1 level where a more urgent need arises. Our wider whole school opportunities include our assembly programme, various enrichment weeks/days and the application of whole school culture and expectations e.g. behaviour policy enacted in each classroom.
We have developed an open and safe learning environment in which pupils express their views, seek help and help others. The promotion of equality, diversity, and the inclusion for pupils and staff, helps prevent any form of direct or indirect discriminatory behaviour. Our children learn to not tolerate any prejudiced behaviour. Our behaviour policy promotes making good choices and exhibiting good learning behaviours. Time is taken within weekly assemblies to explore the school values and expectations for learning.
