This morning, 13 of our Year 6 pupils took part in a specially arranged Knife Crime Awareness Workshop as part of their secondary transition. 

They learned about the impact of knife crime on victims, their families and the communities as well as the consequences and rules around knife crime. They learned what to do if they were in a situation of seeing someone with a knife and what to do if they see someone being hurt by a knife.

Lee from the James Brindley Foundation, who led the session, was hugely impressed with the knowledge and maturity that our pupils showed.

The children thoroughly enjoyed the session, and while some of them were initially slightly hesitant, they all came out feeling confident and with a far better understanding of how to keep themselves safe. 

We have subsequently received some lovely feedback from Lee, who ran the workshop, and kindly stated:

'Can I say what an absolute pleasure it was to deliver a workshop to your fantastic students. Their behaviour, respect, and the insightful questions they asked were a real credit not only to their parents but also to your school.'

With permission from parents, Greswold will be looking to open up this opportunity to more Y6 Greswold pupils in future years.
