Our PSHE curriculum is thoughtfully crafted to encompass a broad spectrum of safeguarding principles, ensuring that our pupils develop a well-rounded understanding and skill-set for their personal well-being and safety. Within this framework, the curriculum comprehensively addresses key aspects such as mental health, physical well-being, body boundaries, online safety, economic well-being, anti-bullying, and identity.
Safeguarding
through our Curriculum
Safeguarding is a fundamental pillar embedded at the root of our core curriculum, reflecting our commitment to providing a secure and nurturing learning environment for all pupils. Our approach to safeguarding extends beyond a set of policies, it is an integral part of the content we teach. We recognise that creating a safe and supportive space is essential for effective learning, and as such, safeguarding principles are interwoven into every aspect of curriculum. We prioritise safeguarding through explicit teaching of safeguarding through our core curriculum

- Visits from our local fire department
