Thames Valley Police Knife Arch Visit

At The Cottesloe School, the safety and wellbeing of our students is our utmost priority.
In our ongoing commitment to creating a secure and supportive learning environment, we recently collaborated with Thames Valley Police to conduct a vital demonstration.
Today, students and staff participated in a hands-on experience with a knife arch, a device utilising electromagnetic technology to detect metallic objects. This demonstration served as a powerful and practical reminder of the serious dangers associated with carrying knives. Through this initiative, we aimed to reinforce our dedication to proactive education and preventative measures.
The experience provided valuable insights for all involved, highlighting the importance of understanding the potential consequences of carrying weapons. We are incredibly grateful to Thames Valley Police for their invaluable support and expertise in delivering this important session.
We are proud to maintain a safe school environment and are committed to continuing our efforts to enhance awareness and promote responsible behaviour amongst our students.
Thank you for your continued support in our mission to safeguard our school community.
