Crucial Crew event teaches Year 6 pupils about safety within the community
Posted on : 14 Mar 2024
Year 6 learners across primary schools with the county borough have recently attended the Crucial Crew event.
Crucial Crew is an event that provides skills to young learners who are on the cusp of attending secondary school, providing them the opportunity to acquire essential skills at an impressionable time in their development.
