Fire safety education for schools

Norfolk Fire and Rescue Service delivers fire safety education for schools. It is targeted for delivery at specific stages of a child's development.

What is available:

Key Stage 1 (Years 1 and 2, age 5-7-years-old)

We offer a 60-minute presentation to schools based on how to plan your escape, stop drop and roll, the role of firefighters and the importance of smoke alarms.

Key Stage 2 (Year 3 to 6, age 7-11-years-old)

This is delivered either through a Norfolk Crucial Crew event or a 75-minute presentation to schools to reinforce subjects covered in Key Stage 1 and hoax and malicious calls.

Key Stage 3 (Year 7 to 9, age 11-14-years-old)

This is delivered through a 90-minute theatre presentation by the Stop Watch Theatre Company on the theme of arson reduction.

Key Stage 4 (Year 10 and 11, age 14-16-years-old) 

This is delivered through a hard-hitting presentation in schools aimed at promoting safety on the roads for the next new drivers on the road.
