Summary/Abstract: The article discusses a very important issue, namely the safety of students in school. Safety, not understood as accidents, which may happen to students (physical safety), but a sense of security: acceptance, understanding, lack of aggression from both the peer group, and teachers. This is a huge challenge for every school if it aspires to be students’ friendly. Parents, sending children to school, are convinced that they are secure and safe at this time. Is this actually true? What do young people think about this problem? These questions were the starting point for the following studies. One of the priority tasks that every school should pursue towards their pupils, is to give them a sense of security in its territory. A student who feels safe and confident in a group and establishes proper relationships with friends more easily, is more open to social contacts, quickly adapts to new tasks and challenges of its particular stage of education. A sense of security and satisfaction indirectly affects the educational achievements of students, which is not irrelevant to the evaluation of schools.
