Safeguarding in the Curriculum

The Design of the Curriculum

                      

 The curriculum deals with safeguarding in two key ways:

 1) Stand alone topics which are explored, such as; Pol-Ed lessons, Unity afternoons, PANTS, Theme days (Online Safety, NSPCC Number Day etc) and Assemblies.

Children are encouraged to explore and discuss these issues together and with their teachers. We also discuss a wide range of issues around safety and wellbeing on a very regular basis in assemblies. Our curriculum offer is changing this academic year to ensure exposure to learning around contextual safeguarding through a planned approach.

2) Regular lessons following an approved scheme of work, such as; My Happy Mind and ICT Lessons. Staff follow schemes of work to ensure a broad and balanced curriculum offer is provided to all pupils.
