Safety in the Community

Our PSHE and Personal Development curriculum allows pupils to regularly reflect on their own personal safety as well as safety in the community. It is a progressive curriculum that builds on prior knowledge but challenges and asks pupils to reflect. The intention behind this curriculum is to build resilient, confident and sensible pupils that can make accurate, informed and just decisions in the wider community.

We take a 3-prong approach to safety at Kings Hill, getting pupils to think about safety in different relationships, safety in different environments and personal safety.

 

Safety in relationships

Personal Safety

Keeping safe in different environments

Year 1

Recognising privacy, staying safe, seeking permission

How rules and age restrictions help us, keeping safe online

What rules are, caring for others’ needs, looking after the environment

Year 2

Managing secrets, resisting pressure and getting help, recognising hurtful behaviour

Safely in different environments, risk and safety at home, emergencies

Belonging to a group, roles and responsibilities, being the same and different in the community

Year 3

Personal boundaries, safely responding to others, the impact of hurtful behaviour

Risks and hazards, safety in the local environment and unfamiliar places

The value or ules and laws, rights, freedoms and responsibilities

Year 4

Responding to hurtful behaviour, managing confidentiality, recognising risks online

Medicines and household products, drugs common to everyday life

What makes a community, shared responsibilities

Year 5

Physical contact and feeling safe

Keeping safe in different situations, including responding in emergencies, first aid and FGM.

Protecting the environment, compassion towards others

Year 6

Recognising and managing pressure, consent in different situations

Keeping personal information safe, regulations and choices, drug use and the law, drug use and the media

Valuing diversity, challenging discrimination and stereotypes
