KINGSCLERE Primary School pupils will be extra-visible during the dark winter months, after being presented with flashing safety armbands by AWE.

Tony Darroch, who works at AWE as an environment, safety and health manager, joined students at a special assembly about road safety where the children took part in a quiz to highlight safety messages.

AWE sponsored the extrabright LED flashing armbands, which the excited youngsters were delighted to receive.

The school participates in the Junior Road Safety Officer Scheme, which is supported by Hampshire County Council.

During Road Safety Week, teachers and staff promote road safety with themed assemblies and activities, supported by poster campaigns. Tony said: “I was honoured to be invited to speak to the pupils at Kingsclere on such an important topic.”
