Drugs and Alcohol 

The year 6 children had a workshop delivered by the SORTED team from Hillingdon council about drugs and alcohol. Children explored the effects that drugs and alcohol can have on an individual and also discussed the different ways in which they may be exposed to children at high school. There were a range of engaging activities that children could participate in which helped consolidate their knowledge and understanding of the topic.

Healthy relationships and boundaries

Children explored what consent is and the boundaries needed to maintain healthy friendships. They were given many different situations that they could be faced with during their time in high school and discussed the impact of these situations. It was insightful to see what some children would do for their best friends but also very encouraging to see that they all know that they have the right to say no. 

Pedestrian training 

Building on the brief pedestrian training from our Junior Citizenship trip earlier this year, this week’s workshops dove much deeper into road safety. The sessions were perfectly tailored for our upcoming high schoolers, focusing on how to navigate their commute safely while managing the distraction of a mobile phone. The children brought incredible enthusiasm to the sessions and were a credit to the school for their excellent participation.
