100 Excellence in Schools

Children can access curriculum resources instantly, continue learning seamlessly at school or at home, watch guided videos, complete activities and reflections, and move effortlessly between modules and units, all in one place. It does not stop there. Children can upload videos, photos and voice recordings as part of their reflections, monitor their own progress across every module, and build a downloadable digital portfolio that captures their safeguarding journey over time. For schools, it is a powerful tool for engagement, evidencing and impact. For children, it is safeguarding learning that feels like it belongs in their world.

Together, these branches give children a joined-up understanding of how to keep themselves and others safe, both online and offline. Children do not need more rules to memorise. They need the confidence, language and judgement to act when it matters. Progressive by Design - A Journey, Not a Lesson Roots to Branch is the only curriculum of its kind to offer a genuinely progressive journey from a child’s very first year at school to their last. The Little Roots Journey takes children aged 5 to 11 through the Explorer, Champion and Ambassador stages, building strong, age-appropriate foundations early. The Branch Journey then carries children aged 11 to 18 through the Award, Certificate and Diploma levels, deepening and extending that knowledge as their independence and responsibilities grow. Every stage builds on the last, meaning schools no longer need to start from scratch each year, and children benefit from a safeguarding education that grows in sophistication exactly when they need it to. The result is real, lasting impact, not just another lesson ticked off the list. Best Practice - Without the Workload Roots to Branch does not just meet best practice in safeguarding education, it makes best practice effortless to deliver. Every module combines mandatory and optional learning experiences, giving schools the consistency they need plus the flexibility to adapt to their setting. Rich learning resources, additional activities, reflection tasks and engaging videos are all provided, ready to use, with no extra planning required. And because evidencing impact matters more than ever, Roots to Branch builds it in automatically: module certificates, end-of-year certificates, recognition badges, downloadable portfolios of evidence and school portfolio showcases give schools everything they need to celebrate progress and demonstrate impact to governors, inspectors and families alike. A Genuinely Innovative Way to Learn The Roots to Branch App takes this curriculum further than any school-based safeguarding programme has gone before.
