In the school’s Newsletter 32 of 10^th June we wrote about the safety of children travelling to and from school to help to ensure children know how to stay safe and to minimise any potential dangers.  We did this because, as some of you might know and some of you raised at the time, in Croydon borough, there had been an incident concerning children’s safety all of which had been aired in the media.

On Sunday 20^th June there was a report of an incident in the Leesons Hill area where a man in a car approached a group of six boys.  However, to our knowledge and information there have been no similar incidents in the proximity of our school.

The school does sometimes receive reports of suspicious behaviour occurring in the whole borough, but the majority of these do not come from our neighbourhood and they predominantly involve secondary schools.

We regularly invite the local PCSOs and the Road Safety Officers into school to talk to the children about being safe and demonstrating safety: a policy we continue. 

In today’s Newsletter we have repeated the advice about safety when travelling to and from school and about being safe generally. 

Please be assured that if we receive information on any incident concerning child safety in our locality we will share it with you.
