Members of the Student Executive Council recently welcomed Matthew Grove, the new Humberside Police & Crime Commissioner, to the school for a fact-finding visit.
Tom Baker, Y13 and Daisy Noble, Y9, with assistant head teacher primary liaison Mr Barnard, Matthew Grove and PC Steve Wilson, gave Mr Grove a tour of the site and, on the way round, took the opportunity to discuss some school issues.
Daisy said: “Mr Grove was late arriving at school so at first I thought he was a bit disorganised, but as the tour went on it became clear he is a very kind person and I think he’ll make a great police commissioner.
“We talked about the problem of people trying to sell drugs to students coming in to school along Manorfield Road and he suggested one deterrent could be to have a PCSO doing random patrols.”
Tom said: “He seemed like a very nice person who was genuinely interested in our views. He was surprised at how big our school site is and was very impressed with the new ACE Centre.”
Mr Grove thanked the Student Exec for taking the time to see him and share their views.
He said: “My vision for policing and crime across the Humberside area is a simple one. It is to put the public and victims of crime at the centre of everything I do.”
