As part of the visit, Peter left the school with eight life vests / bouyancy aids that can be loaned out to families should they be needed to keep children safe over the summer.
Assistant headteacher, Vicky Galpin said, "The visit was really exciting and memorable because of the helicopter landing but most importantly the message delivered around water safety was clear. It is fantastic that we now have the aids to lend to families who want to be safe out and about on the coasts and rivers this summer."
