Step by Step: Plymouth Pupils Cross the Finish Line with Walkwise Course!

Pupils from Marine Academy Primary have successfully completed their Walkwise course this month.

Class 2NH have been working closely with the expert road safety team from Plymouth City Council this academic year, honing their observation and awareness skills while crossing roads with an adult.

Every Friday, the class has been exploring their local area and gaining valuable, hands-on experience that will help them stay safe as they grow into independent travellers. The Walkwise programme is specifically designed to teach young children crucial road safety skills, enabling them to navigate the streets more confidently.

The children have thoroughly enjoyed the sessions, showing great enthusiasm and making significant progress throughout the course.  

Marine Academy Primary, which is part of the Ted Wragg Trust,encourages children to learn through exploration and staff aim to ensure that pupils are independently minded and confident citizens of the future.

Georgina Reid Headteacher at Marine Academy Primary said:

"We are all incredibly proud of Class 2NH for completing the Walkwise course.  It's been fantastic to watch them grow in confidence and develop such important life skills.  Road safety is key as they begin to explore the world around them, and I am confident that the lessons they have learned will stay with them.”

Moira Marder, CEO of the Ted Wragg Multi-Academy Trust said:

"It’s fantastic to see Marine Academy Primary working so closely with Plymouth City Council on the Walkwise course.  I am so proud of the progress Class 2NH has made, which is a testament to the collaborative efforts between our school staff and the city’s road safety team.  Together, we are building a safer and more confident future for our pupils as they begin to navigate the world beyond the classroom."
