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.

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.
