Friday 15th May 2015Corrie School Council

A while ago the school council did a survey about how safe we feel in school.

This is what we found out.Children feel safe in the classrooms.

A few children do not always feel safe when they are in the hall, the corridors, the toilets and the playground and field.

In the hall

In the corridors

In the toilets

In the playgroundWhy do children not feel safe in the hall?There isnt always a teacher thereSometimes you are the only person thereThe older children look very big!It is very busy and noisySome children are in rush and push past youSome children dont like sitting on their own

Why do children not feel safe in the corridors?It can be slippy after the rain.There is not always a teacher thereSome children run and bump into meWhy do children not feel safe in the toilets?I feel worried that someone may come in my cubicle.There is no teacher there.I dont know who is outside.I dont like it when the toilet is not left clean

Why do children not always feel safe in the playground.

Some children are not careful and bump into you.Some children dont have anyone to play withSome games can get a bit too rough and people get hurtSome people are unkind to others at playtime.

How can we help?In the hallUse quiet voicesUse our mannersSit with people you see on their ownWalk around carefullySmile at peopleIn the corridors

Walk carefullyUse our mannersOpen doors carefullySmile at peopleWipe your feet on the mats, especially if its raining.In the toiletsRespect peoples privacyKeep the toilets cleanDont use the toilets to have a chatIn the playground and on the fieldStay in view of staffBe a buddy and dont leave people on their ownThere is no such thing as Play Fighting people will get hurt!Take care try not to be too rough - accept apologies for accidents.

We all have the responsibility to look after ourselves and EACH OTHER!

We all have the RIGHT to feel safe!In our survey we also found that nobody likes being called names!
