Sitting in a Police Car! 🫢🚨
We recently welcomed our local police officers to one of our assemblies at our Braithwell school.
They were amazing with our students, sharing all about the highs and lows of their roles in the community - then letting students imagine this for themselves, sitting in the actual police car!
Thank you so much to the officers who attended, for making our student's day and giving them an experience they can cherish.
