Safeguarding Curriculum

At Frizinghall Primary School, we use a variety of resources to support our safeguarding curriculum. This includes resources from: Coram Life Education, myHappymind, Zones of Regulation, Pol-Ed, Purple Mash and the National College.

Coram Life Education: SCARF

Coram Life Education is the leading charity provider of relationships, health, wellbeing, and drugs education to children across the UK. SCARF (which represents our values for children of Safety, Caring, Achievement, Resilience and Friendship) provides a whole-school approach to building these essential foundations – crucial for children to achieve their best, academically and socially.

SCARF Lessons provide the basis for our weekly PSHE lessons. This programme meets all DfE requirements for statutory Relationships and Health Education, and is mapped to the PSHE Association programmes of study. Further details about this can be found in the curriculum section of the website.

Alongside SCARF lessons, Coram trained educators deliver fun, engaging and memorable PSHE Education workshops every year.  During these workshops, children meet Harold, the giraffe puppet (‘Healthy Harold’) and friends, have discussions and watch short films about healthy eating,  drugs –  legal and illegal –  and their effects, the body and how it works, friendships and their influence, and how choices and behaviours can affect children’s health and education outcomes.

Zones of Regulation

At Frizinghall Primary School, we are introducing the Zones of Regulation as part of our approach to supporting children’s wellbeing, inclusion, and safeguarding.

We began by embedding the language and colours of the Zones of Regulation across the school so that all children and staff share a common understanding. Alongside this, we have developed individualised toolkits to help children recognise their emotions and choose strategies to regulate themselves.

From the academic year 2025–26, we will also introduce whole-class Zones of Regulation lessons for children in Key Stage 1 and Key Stage 2. These lessons will run on a rolling programme, ensuring that children encounter new learning each year and can build on their understanding as they move through school. Over time, the lessons explore the Zones in greater depth, supporting children to develop resilience, self-awareness, and emotional regulation skills.

All lessons are delivered within the allocated PSHE time and are carefully mapped into our PSHE curriculum plans. This ensures that emotional regulation is woven into our wider safeguarding and inclusion practices, helping every child to feel safe, supported, and ready to learn.

Pol-Ed

Pol-Ed is a West Yorkshire Police education programme, written by teachers for teachers in schools across West Yorkshire. Its purpose is to keep children safe by developing their understanding of risks, consequences and the law and to develop their resilience and ability to help and support each other.

Pol-Ed resources are split into 3 topic areas, covering age appropriate interactions with people and situations a child may come encounter both in and out of school.

Pol-Ed is used for individuals, groups, classes and cohorts to respond to emerging needs.

Purple Mash and the National College are used to support Online Safety.
