We are excited to inform you that our KS4 pupils will be working with Paul Richards from Hampshire Police this half term within their PSHE lessons.
As
a school, we are proud to work in partnership with a range of amazing charities
and organisations across Southampton to enhance the delivery of our PSHE
curriculum. These partnerships help our students become familiar with the
support available to them, build confidence in accessing local services, and
provide valuable employer encounters to develop their understanding of
potential careers.
All
sessions will adhere to the NEW PSHE
Statutory Guidance (effective from July 2025) and will include the
below learning outcomes:
·
I understand the concepts
and laws relating to harms which are exploitative including criminal
exploitation.
·
I understand the risks and
signs of grooming or exploitation, and how to seek help where there is a
concern.
·
I understand the laws
relating to violent or threatening behaviour.
·
I understand how to increase
personal safety in public spaces, including when socialising with friends,
family, the wider community or strangers.
·
I understand ways of
seeking help when needed and how to report harmful behaviour.
·
I understand that there
are strategies which can be used to increase safety, and that this does not
mean you will be blamed if you are a victim of harmful behaviour.
·
I understand the
importance of trusting instincts when something doesn’t feel right, and understand
that in some situations a person might appear trustworthy but have harmful
intentions.
·
I can recognise and manage
peer influence in relation to risk-taking behaviour and personal safety, including
peer influence online and social media.
·
I understand how to
develop key social and emotional skills that will increase safety from
involvement in conflict and violence.
·
I understand the law as it
relates to knives and violence.
·
I can take part in a First
Aid skills session and understand how to contact support and services in an
emergency situation.
During our first session on Tuesday 18th November, we will be
joined by two additional members of the Educational First Aid Team. Students
will receive an introduction to the project and team, explore seized knives,
and discuss some of the key objectives around knife crime and personal safety.
The session will also include essential first aid training, supported by the
use of prosthetic materials to enable a hands-on, practical learning
experience.
We are delighted to be able to offer our students this valuable
opportunity to learn from local professionals, supporting their personal development
and preparing them for life beyond school. Please check back in with the blog each
week for updates and photos from the sessions, we can’t wait to share what
we’ve been up to!
