Junior Road Safety Officer Training

The Junior Road Safety Officers (JRSOs) had their first meeting this week. Max Moorcroft, a road safety officer from Hackney Council, visited the school to deliver training. He discussed the important role the JRSOs play in educating other children about staying safe on the road. We discussed a variety of initiatives and started to plan our first assembly for after half term. Max also brought a bag of goodies which included bike lights, reflective stickers, and special badges for our JRSO team.
