Year 7 Road Safety Performance

Last week, we welcomed Hounslow Council’s Theatre in Education team into school for a special presentation on road safety. Titled ‘The Riot Act’, the performance featured three actors as school-aged children discussing the importance of road safety. The play used humour to engage its Year 7 audience, before leading to a hard-hitting and poignant message – with one of the characters passing away in a road traffic accident.

The workshop afterwards gave students a chance to discuss the themes of the play – which they were very keen to do as they were affected by what they had seen. The question and answer portion was another good opportunity for students to increase their learning on the issues. It is so important that all students take notice of their surroundings and stay safe when travelling to and from school.
