In many cases when pupils move to secondary school it is the first time they have travelled to school independently and in some cases the journey from home to school has also increased. At first, their journey to school will be novel and require planning and attention, but after a couple of weeks the route becomes familiar. Through this familiarity, pupils will start to use the roads on auto pilot, which can lead to dangerous distractions. Our First Year pupils watched a pedestrian road safety performance, using theatre, to provide them with an engaging, learning experience. It highlighted the consequences of their actions on the roads. Performance in Education has been commissioned by Lancashire County Council Road Safety and is being delivered to secondary schools across Lancashire. Thank you for delivering an incredibly important message to our pupils. **Tags:** [2022-2023](http://www.kirkhamgrammarjnr.co.uk/news/tag/2022-2023) - [ previous](http://www.kirkhamgrammarjnr.co.uk/news/2022-09-29-ajis-cross-country-championships-2022) - [next ](http://www.kirkhamgrammarjnr.co.uk/news/2022-10-03-kgs-1st-xi-s-victory-v-millfield) - [Mission Statement](http://www.kirkhamgrammarjnr.co.uk/about-us/mission-statement) - [Latest News](http://www.kirkhamgrammarjnr.co.uk/news) - [History of KGS](http://www.kirkhamgrammarjnr.co.uk/about-us/history) - [Location & Community](http://www.kirkhamgrammarjnr.co.uk/about-us/location) - [Term Dates](http://www.kirkhamgrammarjnr.co.uk/about-us/termdates) - [Statutory Information](http://www.kirkhamgrammarjnr.co.uk/about-us/statutory-information) - [School Policies](http://www.kirkhamgrammarjnr.co.uk/about-us/policy-documents) - [Calendar](https://calendar.kirkhamgrammar.co.uk/week.aspx?ID=158) - [The Kirkhamian](http://www.kirkhamgrammarjnr.co.uk/news-1/the-kirkhamian) - [The Friends of KGS](http://www.kirkhamgrammarjnr.co.uk/thefriends-of-kgs) - [Old Kirkhamians' Association](http://www.kirkhamgrammarjnr.co.uk/old-kirkhamians-association) - [Hire of Facilities](http://www.kirkhamgrammarjnr.co.uk/about-us/hire-of-facilities) - [Vacancies](https://www.kirkhamgrammar.co.uk/vacancies/our-vacancies) ## Kirkham Grammar School ## Kirkham Grammar Junior, Infant & Pre-School Ribby Rd Kirkham Preston Lancashire PR4 2BH Tel: **01772 684264** Email: Ribby Road Kirkham Preston Lancashire PR4 2BD Tel: **01772 673222** Email: [![HMC Leading Independent Schools](https://files.schudio.com/kirkham-grammar-school/images/partners/hmc.png)](https://www.hmc.org.uk/)[![Boarding Schools' Association](https://files.schudio.com/kirkham-grammar-school/images/partners/bsa.png)](http://www.boarding.org.uk/) © Copyright 2019–2026 Kirkham Grammar School School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](http://www.kirkhamgrammarjnr.co.uk/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
