Keeping safe to and from Ketton Primary School

Friday, 7 February 2025 11:05

Children at Ketton Primary School have been reminded of keeping safe and the possible danger of strangers on their journey to and from school, after reports of a man in the village who caused concern.

Ketton's head, Glenn Fraser, has written to parents and carers and has been walking the routes himself and was accompanied by a police officer this week.

He said they take reports like this very seriously and he will continue to be outside at school times today. He says children need to be reassured and it's important that adults in their lives are the voice of calm for them.
