Earlier this year, we confirmed reports of AI-generated child sexual abuse imagery had risen by 400%, with AI child sexual abuse discovered on 210 webpages in the first six months of 2025, compared to 42 over the same period in 2024.

Each page can contain multiple images or videos.

Our CEO Kerry Smith said: “AI-generated child sexual abuse images and videos are a real and present threat, and we urgently need international agreement on how this abhorrent content is treated in different jurisdictions." Read more at: https://t.co/lnXRTJo9Os

For Road Safety Week, Year 1 have been making road safety posters to inform people how to stay safe around roads. They shared many safety tips to remind us all how to look after ourselves and the people around us🚦🛑 #WeAreLEO #RoadSafetyWeek

Year 6 enjoyed having @GC_learning and learning about how to keep themselves safe when moving into secondary school #WeAreLeo

[Hurst Park Primary Academy @HurstParkSchool]

Y4 are becoming financial wizards! 💰 They had a fantastic "Money in Society" workshop from @ThinkPiecesUK this week. They LOVED the interactive trading games, where they got to negotiate using the barter system! They also explored the history of money. 🧠 @LEOacademies

[West Ashtead Primary @WestAshtead]

Celebrating our first group of positive role models! They've won the inaugural Golden Raffle Tea Party Reward for consistently demonstrating excellent behavior. 👏

Your positive choices make our school a better place! Let's see who wins next!

[The Paul Alan Project @PaulAlanProject]

So proud to be working with one of our local schools and with the whole of @LEOacademies in Dad's memory 🤍 Teaching our young people essential lifesaving skills is a true joy when they are so enthusiastic and already so knowledgeable! Thank you @ManorParkSchSM1 for having me 🙌

[LEO Safeguarding @LEOsafeguard]

We are so happy to hear this, well done Y6. These are real life challenges and we want you to have the knowledge to keep yourselves safe. 👍

[Brookfield Primary @BrookfieldSM3]

Today's Gamechanger workshops tackled some tricky topics, but our Year 6s rose to the occasion. They showed maturity handling such serious topics. We are proud of their engagement with real-world issues.

What a lovely thing to see! Thank you for choosing kind! This approach certainly makes for a happy school community.
Well done 👏

[Hurst Park Primary Academy @HurstParkSchool]

Y2 is championing kindness! 🧡 We made fantastic posters for the Anti-Bullying Week theme: 'One Kind Word'. The children did an amazing job discussing and illustrating why we should always treat everyone with kindness and respect. @LEOacademies

[LEO Safeguarding @LEOsafeguard]

Another school in @LEOacademies experiencing the @GC_learning workshops bringing them key learning in how to keep themselves safe both in and out of school.
Such important life skills!
Glad you had a good day!

Developing an understanding of the contextual risks children face as they become more independent in the world is vital!
So pleased with the success of the @GC_learning workshops today exploring key themes to develop pupils knowledge of keeping themselves safe! Great work!

[LEO Safeguarding @LEOsafeguard]

A measured approach to pupil use of AI across @LEOacademies .
Carefully planned and assessed pilot to allow pupils to benefit from the amazing tools whilst understanding how to keep themselves safe! Looking forward to hearing all about it! 👍

[LEO Academy Trust @LEOacademies]

Another exciting week at @LEOacademies!

Some of our Year 5 pupils at @CCJacademy have started piloting the use of @GeminiApp & @NotebookLM, following a 6-week AI Literacy programme. Today, the children brought their reading lesson to life with @NotebookLM.

Powerful feedback from today’s session @GC_learning “It was so good, honestly! It was professional actors and they were so believable! I can’t believe people pretend so badly to be your friends and then trap you into doing something bad! I’m so glad I know about this!” Y6

[LEO Safeguarding @LEOsafeguard]

Great to see more children from across @LEOacademies benefitting from the important lessons being shared in the Game Changer workshops, organised for all Y6 children. Looking forward to hearing all about it.

[Chandlers Field Primary Academy @chandlers_field]

Our Y6 Children absolutely loved the @GC_learning workshop yesterday. They were immersed in an engaging workshop, which stimulated an amazing conversation about the decisions we all make.
Thanks to @leosafeguard for this opportunity.

🦁 Active Citizenship in Action

The intergenerational learning partnership between @cheamparkfarm, Dorothy Pettingell House & InCommon is a great example of #LEO2030 in action.

A wonderful model of our Active Citizens making a real difference in their community.

#WeAreLEO 🧡

[Cheam Park Farm @cheamparkfarm]

Great to work with InCommon, @SuttonHSociety & all the residents at Dorothy Pettingell House in Sutton on such an inspiring project. We'd highly recommend intergenerational learning programmes to all schools.
