Year 6 had a visit from Tina and Kelly from Havering’s admission and exclusions team to talk to our pupils about how to keep safe as they transition to secondary school. The children discussed what items they might carry if they were going out with friends and the possible risks that these may create. They looked at different scenarios and how to deal with these. Children learnt how to keep safe when they're out with friends or on their own.
The important session made our pupils think about steps they can take to improve their own safety:
"We were told to imagine a younger person who was travelling to the town centre and what they would carry with them. We then used a Venn diagram to analyse what is safe and what is risky."
"We learnt that carrying a weapon of any kind could not, in any way, keep you safe but can put you in even more danger. A website you can use to report crimes but remain unknown is called fearless.org."
