Last week, our school took part in Safeguarding Week 2025, a special time dedicated to helping our pupils understand how to stay safe, look after themselves, and support others. Each day focused on a different theme, explored through fun and interactive workshops across all year groups.
Monday – Being Safe Online
We kicked off the week by learning about digital safety. Pupils discussed how to protect personal information, spot online dangers, and make smart choices when using technology. They even designed their own “Digital Safety Hats” to remind us of the importance of staying safe online.
Tuesday – Positive Relationships & Emotional Wellbeing
Our second day focused on building healthy friendships and understanding feelings. Through role-play and creative activities, pupils explored how to show kindness, respect boundaries, and ask for help when needed.
Wednesday – Bullying & Peer Support
Midweek, we tackled the topic of bullying. Children learned how to recognise bullying, speak up, and support each other. Classes created “Support Circles” and made pledges to stand against bullying.
Thursday – Physical Safety & Personal Boundaries
Thursday’s workshops taught pupils about personal space and physical safety. Using the NSPCC’s “Talk PANTS” resources, children learned simple rules to keep themselves safe and identify trusted adults.
Friday – Child Voice & Participation
We ended the week by empowering pupils to share their ideas about safety. Each class contributed to our “Classroom Safety Promise” and created suggestion boxes to ensure every child’s voice is heard.
