For their first day back after half term, Year 9 pupils were engaged in a day focusing on the consequences of taking drugs. The day, entitled 'One Choice' is a new drug education programme designed by Portsmouth City Council. Pupils listened intently to speakers including two people who have had direct experience with the life changing consequences of taking drugs, staff at the Drug and Alcohol Support Services (DASS) and a member of Hampshire Constabulary. Springfield are the first school to take part and we look forward to continuing the open discussions with pupils to help them to keep safe. Thank you to everyone who took the time to come and speak with the Year 9 pupils today, we know this has made a real impact on them.
