Tewkesbury Academy students gained insight into the world of policing and personal safety during a visit from the area’s dedicated beat officer, PC Curtis.
As part of the school’s ongoing commitment to student wellbeing and safety, PC Curtis was invited to share vital sessions with Years 7-9 as part of the PSHE curriculum.
These informative sessions covered key topics designed to educate and safeguard students:
Year 7: Grooming and exploitation
Year 8: Knife crime
Year 9: Stop and search and knife crime
A spokesperson said: “We are immensely grateful to PC Curtis for his dedication to raising awareness and equipping our students with the knowledge and tools they need to stay safe.
“His engaging approach and valuable insights have been instrumental in empowering our students to make informed decisions.”
Mr Gowers, Lead Teacher for PSHE, expressed his appreciation for the enthusiastic participation of all students, recognising their active engagement as crucial to the success of these sessions.
