Curriculum, Outcomes & Assessment

Assessment should show better reasoning and safer application — not whether pupils can repeat frightening facts.

Dimension	Emerging	Secure	Deep
Knowledge	Recalls a key idea with support.	Explains the idea accurately in a new example.	Explains limits, exceptions or competing considerations.
Thinking	Notices one clue.	Separates fact, inference and assumption.	Updates judgement when new evidence appears and states uncertainty.
Action	Names a trusted adult.	Chooses a safe, non-investigative response.	Explains why the response is proportionate and what could increase risk.

Use retrieval across stages: autonomy → evidence → safe help → adult responsibility → law/protection → prevention. Evidence of learning should include transfer to a new fictional scenario.
