Mini Police

Our Year 5 school Mini Police help to keep our school and community safe while learning all about the important work the police do.

We work with Northumbria Police and support them at key events, such as Remembrance Day and the Sunderland 10K city run.

We also get the chance to learn about different parts of policing, like Police Horses, Traffic Police, Armed Response and even the police helicopter!

We feel privileged to have such an important role in school and love being able to promote all the good work the police do to help keep everyone safe.

Sunderland Runs

Our Castletown Mini Police did a fantastic job supporting the Sunderland 3km, 10km and half marathon event. They were ready to hand out medals and refreshments to all the athletes crossing the finishing line. It was a very busy day, but they did a great job in supporting our community and our home city.

Police Helicopter

Our Mini Police have had the best morning visiting the police at Newcastle Airport in March. Everyone heard about the important role NPAS has in keeping us all safe and we all got the chance to explore the police helicopter. Click on the photographs below to enlarge and open the slideshow.

Traffic Police

In January, Northumbria Police's Traffic Police unit came for a visit to the school. Our Mini Police squad were given the chance to find out what the life of a traffic officer is like, see a police car and even sit on a motorbike! Click on the photographs below to enlarge and open the slideshow.

Police Horses

Our Mini Police team were visited by four-legged officers - the Police Horses.

Remembrance Sunday

Our community came together for Remembrance Sunday at Castletown Methodist Church and cemetery. Pupils from our Mini Police, Scouts and other groups were in attendance.
