Reform Restore Respect

A powerful day of early intervention and community partnership at Archbishop of Courtenay Primary School.

Today, Reform Restore Respect Charity had the privilege of delivering our transitional anti-crime talk to the Year 6 pupils at Archbishop of Courtenay Primary School, an important moment in helping young people navigate the move to secondary school with confidence, awareness, and positive choices.

We were exceptionally honoured to welcome Lord-Lieutenant of Kent, Lady Colgrain, and The High Sheriff of Kent to the school for this special assembly. Their presence underscored the shared commitment across our county to safeguarding children and investing in early intervention and preventative, educational approaches.
Our sincere thanks also go to D/Chief Supt Shaun White of Kent Police, whose support and partnership continue to strengthen the impact of our work. Reform Restore Respect felt truly supported by all three leaders, each bringing their own dedication to community safety and early intervention.

Seeing the enthusiasm and engagement of the Year 6 pupils today was so inspiring. When schools, community leaders, and organisations come together, we create the strongest possible foundation for young people to thrive.

A heartfelt thank you to Archbishop of Courtenay Primary School for welcoming us so warmly and to everyone who continues to champion positive futures for children across Kent.

🌟 Gratitude from Edenbridge Primary 🌟

We’re proud to share this heartfelt feedback from Edenbridge Primary School following our recent Year 6 anti-crime transitional workshop.

Delivered with care, energy, and age-appropriate insight, our session sparked meaningful reflection and discussion among pupils and staff alike. Real-life examples helped bring the message home, and we’re thrilled to hear that both children and educators found the experience inspiring and impactful.

Here’s a snippet from their letter:

“The workshop was delivered in a way that was accessible, interactive, and age-appropriate… Staff were impressed by how confidently and sensitively these topics were handled.”

Thank you to the Edenbridge Primary School team for your kind words and for welcoming us so warmly every year. We’re committed to supporting young people in making positive choices, and we look forward to working with you again in 2026.
