PC Warhurst also engaged with the pupils by visiting their classrooms, introducing herself, and responding to their questions.
Amongst the many things the children learned about PC Warhurst were her support for Southampton FC, her love of playing football, and her commitment to maintaining public safety.
The children were excited to meet her and found her police car in the school car park particularly interesting. Both the school and PC Warhurst are enthusiastic about their future collaboration to benefit the community.
