Open Water Warning
We have been made aware of students jumping in the Dam, Bridgewater Canal and the Mersey. Please tell your children not to be tempted to cool off in open water. The attached document provides information about the dangers of open water and includes a list of useful resources.
Rail safety
Due to the very high level of trespassing on railway lines by young people in this area, Network Rail have released a film to help raise awareness of the dangers of train tracks. All students will be shown this film during their form time. Please take 15 minutes to watch this film so you can discuss the issues and reinforce this important safety information. The video is free: just enter the email railsafety@learnliveuk.com to watch it: Network Rail secondary school safety talk – Learn Live (learnliveuk.com)
