NSPCC talk to P3 & P4🌟

29th Apr 2026
As part of the Preventative Curriculum, P3 and P4 had a special workshop with Nicky and Dorothy from the NSPCC. They discussed how children can feel safe and loved and how sometimes children may need a little support if they feel worried or unsafe. They talked about safe adults in school and safe adults outside school. The campaign, ‘Speak Out, Stay Safe’ is there to empower children to know their rights and to help them make safe choices. Mrs O’Neill, Miss O’Hanlon and Shena were very proud of how well the children recalled the details of Mr Gilchrist’s NSPCC assembly last week and that they know that they can approach many adults at home and in school for support. The children especially loved Buddy too!
