This assembly will review the success of the previous year before thinking about the New Year.

We will consider the changes and opportunities for the New Year before discussing how to ensure everybody enjoys it and stays safe and healthy.

The message from this Academy is to stay safe and enjoy your time but ‘Speak Up’ if required.

What is different?

The main priorities for the year and what we expect of you

• Every student has good attendance;• Every student is making good progress;• Every student is behaving sensibly and being a

good role model;• Every student is making good decisions and

staying safe.

Do you feel safe and healthy?Some of the words I think about when I consider safe and healthy:

• Safe• Warm• Food• Family• School• Friends

• Do you think they feel safe and healthy?

• Do you think he feels warm, loved and safe?

• Do you think this big brother feels he can keep his little sister safe and healthy?

• Do you think they are worried about Social Media, or what somebody has said about them to another boy or girl?

What do you think this father must be thinking and feeling?

Why is this relevant?

• What do you think this man would say if I said to him:– I would keep his children safe

from 7.30am – 4.30pm each day;– I would provide a warm school; – I would provide a safe school;– I would provide hot food twice a

day;– I would provide free clean water;– I would provide a free

education?

• Students in the UK seem to get the best mix of education and models

• You do not have to go to school for 12 / 16 hours like students in many parts of Asia and you do not live in a war-torn country where you fear for you life

Question• Do you come to

school everyday?• Do you work as

hard as you can every day?

• Do you accept we are very fortunate in the UK and utilise every opportunity?

What do we want from you?• We want you to be successful;

• We want you to challenge yourself and make sure you are successful;

• We want you to be happy!

How ?

No to Bullying - Speak Up• If you see anything that makes

you feel sorry for someone – Speak Up

• If you witness something you do not like - Speak Up

• If someone is horrible to you – Speak Up

Staying Safe On-Line• Stay safe on-line

– Do not accept friend requests from people you do not know

– Do not post something you would not show your parents

– Do not give out your personal details– Do not give out your location– Do not join groups that you know are

wrong or ask you to do things you know are wrong

– Remember – information uploaded can stay uploaded for ever. Would you really want to live with a mistake for the rest of your life?

Staying safe at the end of the day

30 Minute Rule

Which member of staff should you ask for help if you need it?

• If you need help during the Academy day you can ask the nearest adult to you for help

• Your Form Tutor should be the first adult at the Academy that you see each morning. If you have an issue speak to them as soon as you see them.

• If you find it hard to talk about your concern but want help, use the ‘Sharp system’ and Mrs Edwards our Child Protection Officer will help you as soon as possible.

• Let us work together to ensure everybody in this Academy is safe, happy and successful

• Have a wonderful year and welcome back
