Support for Children

Making sure that our children are safe both at school and at home is our top priority.  We do lots of work in school to ensure that the children know how to keep safe – we have a fantastic PSHE curriculum; we also keep them safe by teaching them about E-Safety, first aid, road safety, water safety, how to be safe when out riding their bike etc.

There is always someone here for our children to talk to

There is always someone our children can talk to in school – any trusted adult will always make time to listen to them and offer help and advice. These adults will never promise to keep a secret though because sometimes it is important that we are able to speak on behalf of our children – we will always be their advocate.
We would like to encourage all children to have a ‘trusted adult’ (parent, grandparent, family member or friend) at home that they can go to for help, advice and support from too.
If the children do not want to speak directly to someone in the first instance, they can use their class worry box or take a look at the ‘Are You Worried?’ Leaflet (below) for further help.

There’s also lots of help and support online from official sources (we always advise not to rely on social media):

We always advise children not to keep bottled-up inside. We always say 'speak out!' There is always something that someone can do to help.
