How to keep safe in the Local Area

 

Birchills is situated in a unique position within Walsall. Within walking distance of the academy we have the town centre, a canal and an extremely busy main road. During PSHE lessons teachers will talk about issues that the children may face outside of school. The following websites are used to support this teaching.
