Book a school visit

We offer a fire prevention based visit to every school and specialist education setting in West Sussex.

1 Mainstream schools

Our firefighters will attend your school and deliver a fire safety message to all year R, year 2 and year 5 pupils.

They will educate the children about the importance of fire safety in the home and how to avoid accidental fires.

We ask all schools to complete a short evaluation once the school visit is complete. This enable's us to understand the learning outcomes, ensure the session met the group’s needs and ensure we can continue future delivery.

This form will be sent for completion on the day of the visit and it will take 1 minute to complete. Another visit cannot be booked unless a completed evaluation has been returned.

 Allow 4 weeks’ notice when making your booking.
