With the development of the Every Child Matters agenda, it has become more important than ever that schools are proactive when considering the wider needs of their pupils.  


According to Every Child Matters the government has five aims for every child, the first three of which are that a child should:

                       be healthy
                       stay safe
                       enjoy and achieve
