January 2004 - Consort Homes Sponsor Children’s Safety in Brighouse
Consort Homes, Yorkshire’s award winning house builder, has sponsored St Andrews Church of England Junior School in Brighouse to receive valuable safety literature for pupils at Key Stage 2, helping to keep them safe in the playground.
Consort Homes’ sponsorship has provided the school with quality safety literature in the liveliest and most informative children’s safety publications available. Acting Head Teacher, Peter O’Hare said: “Consort Homes’ sponsorship has allowed this class to have much needed information on addressing elements of a child’s personal and social education. Without Consort’s support we would not have been able to afford this literature and we’d like to thank them for their investment.”
The Access Partnership literature gives key facts in a user-friendly fashion by inviting readers to discover more through a fun-filled range of exercises and activities. By using everything from specially commissioned crosswords and word-searches to fascinating classroom discussion topics, the publication offers something for everyone.
The packs cover topics from bullying, safety in the playground, drug issues and abuse and action plans to deal with each of these areas. Also included are games to teach children fire safety and what to do in the event of a fire breaking out at school or home. The helpful pack includes working booklets for the children and posters for the classrooms.
Consort Homes Managing Director, Darren Stubbs commented: “The approach is a way of involving and enabling young people to tackle crime and community safety issues. The ethos is to allow young people to set their own agenda in trying to address their concerns. This may be about, for example, respect, bullying, drugs or safety, the most important aspect is that young people recognise their responsibility and ability to make a difference.”
Consort Homes picked the school as the company is building Larkfield Mews in Brighouse, a small development of 3 and 4-bed houses and 2-bed apartments. To register your interest in this development call Head Office on 0113 2819191.
