Staying Safe

At Westerhope we aim to give pupils the knowledge and skills to keep themselves safe in the world today. Our PHSCE work has great deal of emphasis on the 'life skills' we need to keep safe - this includes aspects such as e-safety, personal hygiene, fire safety, mental health and many others. Find out how you can support your child using the information below.

Within school, our School Nurse comes in to talk to the children about the PANTS rule. Here the resources and parent information for you to talk to your child about this too. 

ESafety 

One of our biggest challenges is helping our children stay safe in a digital world. All the children are taught about eSafety in their Computing sessions. Here are some helpful resources to support you at home. 

Hygiene and Food Safety

Whenever the children are cooking they are taught the importance of hygiene and food safety. You may find some of the resources helpful at home too.
