All year groups have annual Online Safety modules as part of our ICT curriculum and workshops with our PCSO.
All year groups have a bi- annual NSPCC information Assembly and a ‘Safety Around Dogs’ workshop by the Dogs Trust.
Healthy lifestyle activities and teaching form part of our PE and Science curriculum.
We also cover some of these aspects in our Sex and Relationships Policy and Curriculum.
Annual safeguarding audits are carried out by the Head teacher and Chair of Governors. These are monitored by the Board of Directors.
