Wellbeing of Pupils
This page is for children - it is to help you find help or support if you aren't sure who to talk to.
We want to do our best to ensure that you keep yourself active as regular physical activity can increase our self-esteem and can reduce stress and anxiety!
At the bottom of the page you can find the child friendly version of our Safeguarding Policy.
We would love to hear your ideas about what information to include on here.

Water Safety
Never play on frozen water
- Always tell an adult where you are going
- Always stay together
- Never venture out onto any frozen water as the ice may not be very strong
- If a friend gets into difficulty throw something to them, don't try and rescue them - call 999 and ask for the fire service
Water may look safe, but it can be dangerous.
Learn to spot and keep away from dangers. You may swim well in a warm indoor pool, but that does not mean that you will be able to swim in cold water.
Stop and think - spot the dangers
There are many dangers with water, which can include:
- It can be very cold
- There may be hidden currents
- It can be difficult to get out (steep slippery banks)
- It can be deep
- There may be hidden rubbish, e.g. shopping trolleys, broken glass
- There may be no lifeguards there
- It is difficult to estimate depth
- It may be polluted and may make you ill
Stay together
- It is always better to go to the water with a friend or family member
- Children should always go near water with an adult
- An adult can point out dangers or help if somebody gets into trouble.
Float
If you fall into the water unexpectedly – float until you can control your breathing. Then call for help or swim to safety.
Call 999
You may be able to help yourself and others if you know what to do in an emergency.
If you see someone in difficulty, tell somebody, preferably a Lifeguard if there is one nearby, or go to the nearest telephone, dial 999, ask for the Fire Service at inland water sites and the Coastguard at the beach.
