WBS in pole position, as students steer road safety initiative in the right direction.
11/05/2009
A number of current Year 9 students will be embarking on a new project in September, as part of their Citizenship studies. They will be aiming to qualify for a Safe Road User Award by understanding how to use the roads and developing positive road user attitude.
William Brookes has qualified as one of just three practitioners in England for the new award, teaching the importance of road safety to students aged 14 to 17.
Malcolm Farrar, Shropshire Council’s road safety officer, said: “A great deal of hard work and commitment has gone into qualifying as one of the first practitioners in the country to deliver this award. Credit must go to William Brookes School for taking the challenge of introducing and developing a new course into their school timetable.”
Mrs Turner commented: “At William Brookes School we believe this is a valuable and important skill to develop in tandem with academic qualifications. Our students are very keen to start this course and we are looking forward to working in partnership with others to implement a Pre-Driver Qualification which will harness young people’s enthusiasm and, at the same time, give them a qualification.”
Students successfully completing the award will gain a partial credit for the theory test, allowing learner car drivers to take an abridged test.
