Visitors in school who have talked to us about keeping safe
November 2023
Year four took part in a pedestrian safety lesson with Mrs Street from The Lincolnshire Road Safety Partnership. We discussed what dangers to look out for as pedestrians, particularly when crossing the road. We talked about different scenarios and decided if they were risky or safe. In groups we drew maps of journeys we took regularly and labelled where we most needed to think about safe behaviours.
Year Three learnt the importance of how to stay safe in a car. We discussed why it was important to have a car seat and when you no longer need one. We then measured ourselves to see if we were tall enough to travel without one and we learnt the legislation that states children over twelve or over 135 cm longer need a car seat.
We also talked about the dangers of distraction including arguing, playing, pets and most importantly mobile phones.

In March Mrs Streets revisited school and led a session with Year Five on the importance of wearing a well fitted cycle helmet when out and about on our bikes and went on a nature walk with Year Six, exploring the dangers in our local area and how to keep ourselves safe when out in our local area.
June 2024
All Year 2 children completed Pedestrian Training. They had an indoor session in the morning, learning all about road safety, including the different vehicles that may be on the road and different road signs. In the afternoon, we went on a walk in Scotter, putting what they had learnt to practice!
September 2024
Year Four were taught about how to keep their personal information safe when online, how to deal with different situations that they may experience online and the settings that can be used to keep them safe when they are playing games.
Keeping children safe online is an area of safeguarding that needs to be regularly revisited due to the fast pace of change.
April 2025
Year two had a Dealing with Emotions workshop. The children explored five different aspects to their emotions 'toolkit'. We practised some different techniques to help manage emotions.
Year three learnt all about Positive Boundaries. We discussed how to take turns and treat each other with kindness, consideration and respect as well as being honest and truthful. We learnt about the concept of personal privacy and the giving and seeking of permission.
Year 5 had a brilliant morning playing 'the game of life'. This focused on conflict resolution where children had to come up with different ways in dealing with conflict. The children came up with brilliant ideas and suggestions and had lots of fun working as a team to complete the game.
The children in Year Six discussed healthy and unhealthy relationships and looked at different scenarios where a relationship might be classed as healthy or unhealthy. The children also discussed what it means to be a bystander and reporting inappropriate behaviour. They discussed what behaviour can be controlled (our behaviour) and not controlled (thoughts, feelings and opinions of others).
July 2025
Year three had a session on keeping their identity private and not sharing their personal details online. Also, if something happens, they know they can block and report them.
First Aid Children learnt about Dr ABC and how to administer CPR.
In July all year groups had a road safety session with Pam Street from the Local Authority.
