As part of Countesthorpe Academy’s ongoing Personal Development Programme, we were pleased to welcome the Leicestershire Fire & Rescue Service into school this morning to deliver their road safety roadshow, The Fatal Four, to our Year 11 students.
The session provided an important and timely reminder of the key risks faced by young people as new drivers or passengers. Through an engaging presentation and discussion, the fire service team highlighted the four most common factors contributing to serious road traffic incidents, while offering clear and practical guidance on how students can stay safe when travelling in a vehicle.
Our Year 11 cohort engaged thoughtfully with the workshop and benefitted greatly from the expertise and real‑world experience shared by the visiting officers. Opportunities such as this are central to our commitment to equipping students with the knowledge and confidence they need to make responsible decisions both now and in the future.
We would like to extend our sincere thanks to the Leicestershire Fire & Rescue Service for delivering such an impactful and informative session.
