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 is mainly delivered through our Jigsaw scheme of learning but is further supported by external organisations such as Childline, KOOTH and NSPCC as well as work through assemblies and enrichment days and weeks.
Our curriculum gives pupils opportunities to:
- experience life in all its diversity
- 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. The curriculum recognises that some subjects are more sensitive than others and ensures that these are taught at an age-appropriate level. When a more urgent need arises, these ay also be taught within a small group or 1:1 level. 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 inclusion ensures children learn to not tolerate any prejudiced behaviour - direct or indirect. Our behaviour policy promotes making good choices and exhibiting good learning behaviours. Time is taken within weekly assemblies to explore the school values, Fundamental British Values and expectations for learning.
