To build on our PSHE curriculum and further develop our excellent safeguarding provision, Northumbria Police’s Prevention Through Education Team visited our school in February to deliver sessions to students in Year 9 about antisocial behaviour.

These sessions are to help young people understand what antisocial behaviour is, its consequences and how it affects communities, as well as how to get help and report it.  

Our King Edward’s students were fantastic across the three days, each group engaging with the facilitator and sharing ideas. Kerry, our facilitator, was also very good. She set exactly the right tone, the students were completely engaged throughout and learned a huge amount from it.

Staff who accompanied students were also very positive, seeing lots of curriculum links with the content delivered. One colleague commented:

I also got a lot from it myself, and the session was a thoroughly worthwhile thing to do.

Northumbria Police provided the attached parent/carer e-leaflet for further information.
