Becoming good citizens
A successful education extends beyond the classroom and the journey
into their teenage years and adulthood will be steeped with challenges.
At Kew College, the Year 6 children take part in a range of activities
designed to prepare them for the future and equip them for these
eventualities.
The trip to the Junior Citizens workshops at Holly Lodge and the Cycling
Proficiency training prepare them for safely using roads, public transport
and dealing with everyday challenges when travelling independently. The
First Aid training gives the children confidence in a medical emergency.
The visit to the Houses of Parliament helps the pupils to understand the
key British values of Democracy and the rule of law.

Becoming first aiders
Year 6 took part in a First Aid session designed
to empower them in a medical emergency
situation. The workshop involved the way to
respond in a first aid scenario as well as
practical measures such as basic resuscitation
and CPR, bandaging wounds as well as making
and using a sling. The children embraced the
challenges with enthusiasm and were able to
gain new levels of confidence in this important
area.

An intensive week long Cycling Proficiency training
primes the Year 6 children for keeping safe while on
their bicycles. During their daily 90-minute Cycling
Proficiency Training, the children learn about the
Highway Code as well as how to keep safe on roads,
junctions and roundabouts. They were taught in fun and
memorable ways and the tutors supported the children
every step of the way. The week culminates in an
assessment in which this year’s cohort achieved a 100%
pass rate.
