  • Hall Green School an Academy
    Hall Green School An Academy 3 November 2020 Dear Parents/Carers Police and schools in the city are committed to working together to protect our young people from becoming victims of knife and weapon related crime. We use a range of tactics including educational inputs and in-school searches to ensure that students are well-informed about the consequences of carrying weapons; and identify those that continue to do so. It is important that the police, schools and families work together to protect young people. To do this, parents must be aware of the warning signs and talk to children about carrying weapons. The consequences of being found in possession of a knife are serious and long lasting, affecting education, employment and travel opportunities, but most critically the risk to life. Some young people carry weapons because they feel it will provide protection or increase the respect they are given by their friends, but the sad fact is that they are more likely to become victims of serious violence. Parents should also be aware that girls sometimes carry or store weapons for their boyfriends or other male friends because they believe they are less likely to be stopped by the police. Their reasons are often misguided loyalty or love. However, it is still a crime if they are caught carrying a knife or other weapon. WARNING SIGNS: These signs don’t always mean the worst is happening and could just be normal teenage behaviour: 1. Have they become withdrawn from the family and/or school? 2. Is their school or college reporting worrying changes in behaviour, academic achievement or attendance? 3.

In a city with higher than average levels of obesity and significant evidence of deprivation and food poverty, the programme was shaped to promote activities around growing food, healthier eating and physical activity, reaching the whole community surrounding the company’s Bournville site.

The programme has supported the national Change4Life campaign. Objectives To engage school communities and local residents in growing food to increase their knowledge and understanding of its link with healthy lifestyles and provide access to fresh food; To improve understanding of healthier eating habits with a focus in schools on increasing opportunities for cookery and healthy eating activities; To increase opportunities and engagement in physical activity for children and adults.
