A few weeks ago, Guildford Grove organised its first ever safety week. During the week, the children designed their own safety superheroes to help them understand the meaning of safety. They also took part in daily PSHE lessons focusing on staying safe.
On the Wednesday, our school council organised an after school session to review our anti-bullying policy with staff, parents, volunteers and governors. It was an excellent event and the school council, along with some of our Year 6 yellow band lunchtime helpers, spoke confidently and worked with the adults to come up with a definition of what bullying is. We were very proud of them all.

As part of the week, we also held a 'Make Technology Safe Fayre'. Parents were able to bring in their electronic devices and speak to experts to get advice about how to ensure they were safe for their children to use. It was great to see so many parents and children attend with a range of devices from gaming devices to mobile phones.
What a great week!
