All of Chantry’s Year 8 pupils were given the opportunity to spend time with representatives from Northumberland Fire and Rescue Services as well as the Environment Agency. The workshop was aimed to raise awareness of water safety and provided the pupils with the opportunity to practise some safety training techniques as they were shown how to throw the line and how to wear a safety vest. The event was a huge success and feedback from Chantry pupils said they “enjoyed the chance to learn how to throw the line,” “it was exciting to try out some of the life-saving equipment” and “understood that it was important to be stay safe when near the water.” We would like to say thank you to both Northumberland Fire and Rescue Services and the Environment Agency for taking the time to join us at Chantry.
