Children’s School Health and Safety Team
At School of Christ the King, we value all our children’s opinions, and this is why we are setting up a new Health and Safety Team to improve health and safety awareness and help make our school a safer and happier place. We believe that children enjoy being given responsibilities, and we also believe that children need to appreciate the importance of making their own decisions.
The team will meet on a regularly with health and safety expert Ray Connolly, who is also a school governor (Ray is a member of IOSH, the health and safety body in England).
The club will start as an after-school club on a Thursday from 3.15-4pm for Years 5 and 6. This club will start after the school half term. If you child is interested please speak to the school office.
