On Wednesday 9th October, Year 7 pupils were given the exciting opportunity to have a clear message about road and travel safety delivered by Performance in Education.

Their performance of “Streetwise” emersed our pupils into the story of 3 teenagers engaging in unsafe practices when walking or traveling in their community. Pupils were educated on ways to stay safe when using a phone, listening to music, crossing a road and travelling to and from locations.

As well as strategies to stay safe, pupils were also informed of the statistics relating to pedestrian incidents and the timeframes of 8:00am-9:00am and 3:00pm-5:00pm being the highest rates of injuries and deaths due to pupils walking to and from schools.

Pupils were fully engaged in the follow up workshops and were keen to show their understanding of how to stay safe. Bloxwich Academy would like to thank Performance in Education for the fantastic and informative production.
