Top Tips for Teaching Children Fire Safety
Whether it’s during a major event like bonfire night or simply while using a heater on a chilly day, fire safety is a vitally important topic on which to educate children and young people. One mistake with fireworks, electronics or open flames can have catastrophic consequences: damage to property, serious injury or even worse.
As parents and educators, it’s vital that we teach the children in our care how to protect themselves around fire and flammable materials in a mature and responsible manner. This free guide offers expert advice on how to educate children and young people on fire safety, detailing what precautions can be taken to keep them as safe as possible when exposed to fire-related dangers.

Guinness World Record Attempt
Here are Stiperstones, Grinshill and Wrekin taking part in The World’s Largest Poetry Lesson with the hope of being part of a Guinness World Record.
A few weeks ago pupils shared their ideas with Laura Mucha, who has read every school’s entries before creating a draft poem. Today pupils got the chance to ‘Live Vote’ alongside thousands of other children on how the poem was written, choosing specific words and lines as well as the title.
The most amazing thing happened too: we suggested a line in the poem (“Sweets cost 1p back in the day!”) which was chosen by the tens of thousands of other children taking part to be in the final poem!
Mrs Quigley had to make sure our part in the event could be verified, by providing specific evidence for Guinness World Records.
We will send the final poem out in due course and update you with the result of the attempt.
