Student Safeguarding Ambassadors

Student Safeguarding Ambassadors 2024-2025

 

Term 1

During Term 1, the new cohort of safeguarding ambassadors discussed the character values at Harris Merton. Each student chose a value they wish to represent and embody in and out of school.

RSHE topics like friendships, bullying and online safety were discussed in focus groups and then shared among each other. The Safeguarding ambassadors interviewed some of their peers to see what students valued most about friendship.

Safeguarding ambassadors Term 1

Term 2

Safeguarding ambassadors discussed safety in school, touching on lockdown protocol and the importance of vigilance and alertness.

The ambassadors explored what unity means and how we can implement unity within Academy community. Culture days, school shops, student newsletters and taking part in assemblies, were planned for the summer term.  

During term 2, the ambassadors demonstrated unified teamwork to create a ‘Unity tree’ for visitor's reception and poems that could be used around the Academy.

Term 3

During term 3, Safeguarding ambassadors reopened the school shop. Most items sold out quickly- they enjoyed interacting with their peers, organising themselves and working as a team.

A few students also attended some Year 6 transition workshops, offering guidance and encouragement for the new Year 7’s starting in September ‘25. They showed students round the Academy and took part in activities to welcome their younger peers to Harris Merton.

Melissa, Jon- Nathan, Nina & Stacey are Safeguarding Ambassadors and wrote a poem titled Unity, which they read in the summer term Safeguarding Assembly.
