Dear Parent/Carer
Wellbeing Day – 14 July 2023
Friday 14 July is our whole school Wellbeing Day. Pupils will have the opportunity to try a variety of physical activities linked to physical well-being. Students should wear appropriate footwear and clothing on the day. Sporting clothes, with proper shoes/trainers are recommended. No sandals please.
All students will also be participating in activities to support their emotional wellbeing and understanding of RSE. RSE resources will focus on staying safe and will use resources produced and endorsed by the NSPCC. During these discussions we will aim to teach our pupils important safety skills without giving explicit information or telling scary stories. We will be teaching our KS2 and KS3 pupils the NSPCC’s Underwear Rule, using the ‘PANTS’ acrostic. PANTS stands for:
- Privates are private
- Always remember your body belongs to you
- No means no
- Talk about secrets that upset you
- Speak up, someone can help
The lessons will introduce a range of ideas, all delivered in a way that’s fully age appropriate. These include: “appropriate” and “inappropriate” touching, your child’s right to say no to things that make them feel upset or uncomfortable, naming parts of the body, who your child can turn to if they ever feel upset or worried.
If you would like to know more about the NSPCC’s campaign and see how you can help keep your children safe in partnership with the School, more information can be found at nspcc.org.uk/underwearrule
If you have any questions or concerns please don’t hesitate to get in touch.
Best wishes
