Primary SCHOOL CHILDREN

Sessions children take part in, not just sit through.

Children don’t always know when something is wrong. Manipulation and familiar environments can make harm feel normal. This session helps children recognise their feelings and gives them the language to make sense of them.

What this session is

A one hour, game-based session for primary school children that brings body and online safety to life through movement, music, and interactive levels.

It runs as a game, with a tambourine, music, and a task that draws the whole class in from the first minute. The same task is used to close the session, by which point the energy in the room has opened up completely. Across the levels, I weave in pieces of my own story alongside everyday examples that help children connect the dots.

It’s interactive, inclusive, and built so every child in the room takes part. By the end, children come away feeling good about themselves, inspired, and with a clearer understanding of things that often go unspoken at this age.

Schools cover body and online safety well, this session doesn’t replace that.

It’s about what happens when an external voice walks in with a different style and a real reason for being there. Some of what I cover in these sessions wasn’t talked about in schools when I was growing up, and a lot of it still isn’t. Coming in from the outside, with my own story underneath it, gives children another way to hear what already matters in your school.

Why a different voice makes a difference

A bit about my story

When I was eight years old, I was sexually abused by a thirty-five-year-old man who was known to my family. It continued for around a year. Nobody knew. I showed no signs.

I went on to have a career designing supercars for McLaren before this work, which is something the children find fascinating, and it always sparks questions. I use it to talk about learning, curiosity, and where those things can take you. The story is shared in pieces, age-appropriately, and tied into the levels of the game.

How the session works

I guide children through each level, building on what they already know.

Level 1

The Rules. The safety rules that help keep children safe in everyday life.

Level 2

Feelings. Recognising different feelings and what those feelings might be telling us.

Level 3

Your Team. Identifying the trusted adults in their life who are there to help.

Level 4

Your Voice. Learning when and how to speak up if something doesn’t feel right.

Level 5

The Final Boss. A recap of everything they’ve covered, brought together so it makes sense as a whole.

A key safety message is repeated three times across the session, read out by a different child each time. Repetition like this is intentional, so the message stays with them after I’ve left.

The levels build toward one simple but important idea. Children have a team around them, and they have a voice. When they understand both, they’re better placed to use them.

Two ways this can be delivered

Schools can choose between classroom sessions and year group assemblies in the main hall. Both cover the same content. The format affects how the session feels in the room and how the day is structured.

Classroom sessions
(up to 30 children per class)

* Children feel more comfortable speaking up and contributing.
* Easier interaction, with space for every child to take part.
* Includes a writing task that isn’t possible in a larger group.
* Covering Years 3 to 6 takes around two days.

Year group sessions in the main hall

Practical details

Year groups are kept separate so everything stays age-appropriate for the children in the room. The format fits easily into the school day, whichever delivery option you choose.

Schools often choose to pair the children’s session with a short staff training and a parent talk on the same visit, or arranged separately if that works better. The parent talk is different to the general parent information session on this site. It’s a focused conversation about what’s actually been covered with the children that day, a little about my story, and what parents can do to carry the conversation on at home. It can be delivered in person or online, whatever suits your school. Ask about this when you get in touch.

The best way to get a sense of how this works is to watch it. Below is a recording of a full session delivered to a Year 5 class. This allows you to see the style, energy, and structure of the session before booking.

What people say

We were lucky enough to have Jeremy deliver a day of impactful talks at our school. After working carefully to tailor his talks to our specific Year 5 and 6 cohorts and aligning with our Personal Development curriculum, Jeremy engaged our children in meaningful discussions about staying safe and understanding what is not okay. His sessions with staff were invaluable, reminding us of why we have a duty to foster a culture of safety throughout the school especially today with the increase of social media. Jeremy provided us with parent letters, video footage and follow up tasks which has made the sessions more meaningful. Jeremy's manner, personal experience and passion as well as his expert knowledge has left a lasting impression on our school community, and we are grateful for his contribution. We will be inviting Jeremy in again and look forward to working with him in the future.

I was one of those teachers who listened to you yesterday and your message was so powerful. Today I dealt with an issue and I reminded children of those all important rules about privacy and personal space. I think we assume we do this all the time, but I am going to make sure I reinforce that rule whenever I can. I want them to be so clear about their ownership of their bodies, that the rules round this are so firm in their heads and the choices they make. Thank you is not a big enough sentiment for the impact you made yesterday.

Outstanding training event, so powerful and thought provoking. To hear from a victim of child sexual abuse, their own story, really made me sit up and think about the work we do. One of the best training events I have attended. This should be rolled out to all CS's staff, school staff, young club settings, and to young people themselves.

Frequently asked questions

Is this appropriate for primary school children?

Yes. The session is designed specifically for primary age children and uses a game-based format to explore body and online safety in a way that feels age-appropriate, engaging, and accessible. There are no scary words or graphic content. The aim is to give children language and confidence, not to alarm them. If you have specific concerns before booking, I’m always happy to talk them through.

What age groups does this work for?

The session works across Key Stage 1 and Key Stage 2, but year groups are always kept separate so the conversations are right for the children in the room. Everything is adapted for the age group being addressed.

Can the session be delivered to a full year group, or does it need to be smaller?

Do staff need to be present?

A note on a future resources section

Further down the line we’d also like to add a resources section to the site. This will hold downloadable PDFs, including the pre-session packs schools receive before a visit, plus other supporting materials still to be confirmed. The files would sit openly on the relevant pages as straightforward downloads, no sign-up or form to access them. It isn’t part of this immediate phase, but it’s worth knowing now so the page structure can accommodate it later without a rebuild.
