Safer Schools ‘Safer Schools’ The involvement of the Shrewsbury Academy in the ‘Safer Schools’ initiative is excellent! The school recently held a Safer School meeting, attended by West Mercia Police and myself representing Shropshire Council. A thorough meeting, covering all aspects of the Safer Schools process. This included a pro-active approach to security/safety, consultation with students, reflecting on any school issues and planning for the future. Part of the Safer School process includes recording incidents and reassuringly there had very few recorded incidents. Since our previous meeting in May, the school has continued to work hard and implement both changes and improvements to security and safety. The school continues to maintain it’s ‘Safer School’ accreditation and a future meeting is already scheduled. Great work! Ian Bartlett - Crime Prevention Officer
