In addition to our SRE Scheme of Work, teachers talk to children about age appropriate safeguarding information like the NSPCC PANTS Underwear rule.
The NSPCC visit school for biennial assemblies with Y5 and Y6 pupils to cover the issues of keeping safe, linked to their Speak out Stay Safe campaign.

We use the Programme of Study For PSHE Education from the PSHE Association. The question-based model has an overarching question for each block; starting as ‘What?’ and ‘Who?’ questions in key stage 1 and developing to ‘Why?’ and ‘How?’ questions in key stage 2. The blocks are colour coded as follows:
Pink: Relationships
Green: Health & Wellbeing
Blue: Living in the Wider World
