“Our aim is to make learning fun, enjoyable and inspiring! If we can open children’s minds to accepting a challenge and enjoying meeting it, then we open a world of opportunities for them. Opportunities to meet with success, realise their potential and follow their dreams! Primary school children enjoying their learning is key to future success!”

We learned about all the different vehicles the Police use, how important it is to keep safe and who to tell if we are lost - our trusted adults. We enjoyed trying on some of the different uniforms worn by Police Officers.
