We were thrilled to host Lisa Wright from the Staffordshire Safer Roads Partnership today at our school!

Lisa’s session with our Year 7 and 8 cohorts centred on the critical topic of distractions. Together, they delved into understanding cognitive, visual, and auditory distractions, highlighting the potential risks and consequences associated with them. Through engaging discussions, our pupils gained insights into how their actions can impact not only themselves but also others around them. They explored strategies to minimise distractions and stay mindful of their surroundings, particularly when on the road.

For our Year 10 group, the session took a closer look at peer influence – both positive and negative. Lisa provided valuable guidance on recognising situations where peer influence might sway decisions related to road safety. Our pupils learned the importance of challenging risky behaviours and advocating for their own safety, as well as that of their peers. Together, they brainstormed practical strategies to counteract negative peer influence and make informed choices.

We’re incredibly grateful to Lisa for her insightful presentations, empowering our pupils with the knowledge and skills to navigate road safety challenges effectively.

Let’s continue to prioritise safety and mindfulness on and off the road!
