25 Jun Junior Citizen Event
On Monday 18th June, Year 6 took part in the Junior Citizenship event at Bounds Green Scout Park—a brilliant opportunity for our pupils to begin thinking about how to stay safe and make sensible choices as they prepare for secondary school.Throughout the day, the children moved around a series of interactive workshops, each one led by experts from the emergency services and local organisations, including the police, fire brigade, Transport for London, Hope UK, Haringey Council and the Gang Prevention team.Each session focused on real-life scenarios that the children may encounter as they begin to travel independently and spend more time in the community. The topics covered included:
- How to stay safe near roads and when travelling through busy areas
- Identifying “safe strangers” and knowing when and how to ask for help
- Using public transport safely and what to do in an emergency
- Understanding the consequences of inappropriate behaviour on buses and trains
- Fire safety and how to respond in a high-risk situation
Our pupils were excellent ambassadors for the school. They listened carefully, asked thoughtful questions and took part with maturity and enthusiasm. They left the event more confident, more informed and better prepared for the next stage in their journey. Well done Year 6!
