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, students will start to use the roads on auto pilot, which can lead to dangerous distractions. This afternoon, we were welcomed Performance in Education into Kirkham Grammar School to deliver their Streetwise programme. ‘Streetwise’ teaches students that the road needs their full attention at all times. Our First and Second 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. ![](https://kirkham-grammar-school.schudio.com/images/news/IMG_3099.JPG) **Tags:** [2021-2022](https://kirkham-grammar-school.schudio.com/news/tag/2021-2022) - [ previous](https://kirkham-grammar-school.schudio.com/news/2021-10-21-september-2021-first-year-pupils-whistle-stop-tour-of-their-lessons) - [next ](https://kirkham-grammar-school.schudio.com/news/2021-10-22-old-kirkhamian-sophie-and-ccf-rsm-abigail-at-the-lord-lieutenants-awards-ceremony) - [Mission Statement](https://kirkham-grammar-school.schudio.com/about-us/mission-statement) - [Latest News](https://kirkham-grammar-school.schudio.com/news) - [History of KGS](https://kirkham-grammar-school.schudio.com/about-us/history) - [Location & Community](https://kirkham-grammar-school.schudio.com/about-us/location) - [Term Dates](https://kirkham-grammar-school.schudio.com/about-us/termdates) - [Statutory Information](https://kirkham-grammar-school.schudio.com/about-us/statutory-information) - [School Policies](https://kirkham-grammar-school.schudio.com/about-us/policy-documents) - [Calendar](https://calendar.kirkhamgrammar.co.uk/week.aspx?ID=158) - [The Kirkhamian](https://kirkham-grammar-school.schudio.com/news-1/the-kirkhamian) - [The Friends of KGS](https://kirkham-grammar-school.schudio.com/thefriends-of-kgs) - [Old Kirkhamians' Association](https://kirkham-grammar-school.schudio.com/old-kirkhamians-association) - [Hire of Facilities](https://kirkham-grammar-school.schudio.com/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](https://kirkham-grammar-school.schudio.com/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
