Safeguarding in our curriculum
Our school is situated on a very busy main road. We are currently campaigning for a crossing outside of our school. In the meantime we were really grateful to Mr Cope from Staffordshire County Council Road Safety team who came to deliver the stepping out programme with Year 3 and 4.
Year 1 and 2 took part in a very important session about seatbelt safety. Mr Cope, who has come to talk to us about seatbelt safety. We carried out two experiments with Humpty Dumpty. One of which he was wearing his seatbelt, one where he was not. We made predictions and discussed the impact.
