Junior PCSOs
Junior PCSOs is a leadership initiative developed by West Midlands Police and Neighbourhood Teams. The aim of the scheme is to empower school to tackle and educate in the issues of parking, bullying and litter around their school sites. It is also to raise awareness of pupils, parents and drivers of the dangers that exist and to work together to ensure safer environments for us all.
This year’s PCSOs have been formed from our Guardian Angel’s Mission Team who explained their concerns about safety at the school gates:
“The traffic is bad and sometimes the cars park so you can’t cross.” – Year 4 Guardian Angel
“Mr Thompson puts cones out but sometimes parents ignore them and park on the yellow lines.” – Year 6 Guardian Angel
“Sometimes there is rubbish by the gates and the field where we play and it ruins it for us and doesn’t feel safe.” – Year 5 Guardian Angel
The newly formed group will undertake some initial training with our local police link, PC Manns, as well as trained staff in school. They will continue in the role for this academic year and train younger aspiring PCSOs throughout the year.
