Road Safety
We actively teach road safety during the school year and remind children of the road safety rules via planned PSHE and Bikeability sessions.
Ask your child what they can remember and use this as a starting point to remind them about keeping safe when crossing or playing near roads.
Take a look at these useful resources and websites to remind children of the key safety messages. Education resources – THINK!
Water Safety
During the school holidays, and in particular in warmer weather, increasing numbers of children put themselves at risk of drowning. On average between 40 and 50 children drown per year in the UK. As you venture out more as the weather becomes warmer, please be aware of the dangers of being close to canals, rivers, lakes and reservoirs.
The water safety code
Water may look safe, but it can be dangerous. Learn to spot and keep away from dangers. You may swim well in a warm indoor pool, but that does not mean that you will be able to swim in cold water.
