Achievement and Excellence

The Safety Box along with school partners hope to help with the safety, well-being and achievement of children and young people through a detailed development programme. Using a combination of high expectations, innovative thinking and a broad view of supporting children and young people it is our objective to deliver a service which in turn will raise the attainment of the pupils above and beyond.  With our specialist support services on personal safety, conflict resolution, respect for others and confidence building it is hoped that we can be integrated well into the schools curriculum and extra curricula activities. The Government wants all schools to offer access to extended services by 2010, with half of primary schools and a third of secondary schools doing so by 2008. At the Safety Box we are driven to help schools meet this requirement.

There is evidence that extended services can help to:

- improve pupil attainment, self-confidence, motivation and attendance;

- reduce exclusion rates;

- better enable teachers to focus on teaching and learning;

- enhance children's and families access to services.
