Learning how to keep safe

At St Barnabas and St Philip's we prepare pupils to keep themselves safe by educating them to understand risks and make good choices.Our Personal, Social and Health Education curriculum includes a weekly taught lesson for each class; visits and visitors on a range of topics; specific circle times in response to issues; acts of collective worship; our interactions with pupils every day.

Pupils at St Barnabas and St Philip's have recently had visits from the Community Police, Fire Brigade, Transport Officers, NSPCC and Road Safety officers. We have worked with specialist organisations to provide workshops by Equaliteach (Prevent, anti-radicalisation, online safety, gender equality and sexism ) and mind (mental health and well being).   

Our curriculum supports pupils to make choices to live safe and healthy lives, to stay safe, develop resilience and self-confidence, respect each other and make a positive contribution. Pupils learn about online safety, personal safety, road safety, fire safety, first aid and how to make good choices regarding urban living.
