Voluntary agencies, community groups and high school staff visited Blacon High School for three action-packed days which explored issues surrounding the global, local and school community.

Pupils worked with the Tim Parry, Jonathan Ball Foundation for Peace, a specialised drug awareness team from the Cheshire West Primary Care Trust, and took part in a session on careers education.

PCs Di Woodward and Liz Stanton talked to pupils about safety and weapons, and environmental health officer Hannah Barton asked the children if they would like to be environmental millionaires.

Maggie Eldridge, assistant headteacher and event organiser, said: "The Respect Days have become great ways for pupils to get outside the classroom and explore other ways of learning.

"During July 16 to 18 pupils were challenged by a variety of activities and tasks to develop their independent learning skills while also addressing their social and emotional needs.

"The pupils gain a great deal from meeting and working with outside agencies which opens their horizons and windows for opportunities. I would also like to thank M&S Money for sponsoring the Warrington Peace Foundation to work with us."
