Strengthening bonds with the community was on the menu for a monthly event at the school.

Pupils welcomed 22 local residents for an afternoon lunch, a two-course meal with tea or coffee. The youngsters take money at the door for the event and raffle, collect the food and drink orders, and serve their guests.

Class teacher Laura Cartwright explained all of this helped give children a confidence boost as well as instilling independence.

The lunch was followed by a discussion for pupils' intergenerational project, where Year 5 and 6 interviewed the guests about their stories and memories of the village and surrounding areas.

The aim of the project is to develop the children's questioning and interviewing skills to discover the history and heritage of Leeswood village and surrounding areas.

The project welcomes dementia ambassador Jane Meakin, from Dementia Friends, who brings along photos and items to spark conversation between the visitors and the children. The guests also are encouraged to bring in any old photographs, letters, maps or any other significant items.

Jane said: "The children are taught interview technique. There is a stigma about dementia and this project helps break the wall.

"The children are amazing and they really listen."

Community members said they enjoyed the social get-together and that they liked to support the school, adding the children were very attentive, worked hard and were doing a good job.

Amelia Price, 10, said: "I really like it, the serving people. I feel grown up, and like meeting new people."

And Lewis Pugh, 11, added: "I enjoy being busy and it gives me job confidence."

Money raised at the events has so far helped the school buy more raffle items, salt and pepper pots and new aprons for the children.

Pupil members of the school's Mini Police have been taking action to raise awareness over road concerns.

As unsafe traffic issues around parking remain an ongoing concern, traffic wardens now make regular visits to the school at dropping off and picking up times.

In addition, PCSO Rachael Duddle works with Westwood's Mini Police to spread the message about safe parking, raising awareness about the availability of the car parks in the nearby vicinity and asking all drivers to keep the roads safe for children.

Deputy headteacher Lynne Brown said: "Many schools report the same issues with parking and Westwood's Mini Police decided to take action in order to raise driver's awareness around the need for safety around their school.

"With the support and guidance of PCSO Rachael Duddle, the children felt they had made a positive difference. Park and stride is one initiative pupils in Year 5 and 6 will be promoting, making use of local car parks would give families a five minute walk each morning and offer a healthy start to the school day."

A Year 6 pupil, Seren said: " I feel that we, as Mini Police, need to do more. This idea didn't sound like it would work but ended up working incredibly well! It's good to make people stop and think about safety on the roads, especially around schools."

Westwood Primary School pupils made posters to remind drivers to park and drive safe.

PCSO Rachel Duddle added: "We have shared a post on Facebook, so far we've had a good response.

"I thoroughly enjoy my time with the Mini Police Officers, they are doing such a great job in the community and making a real difference.

"School traffic parking is one of the many issues we have to deal with within our neighbourhood policing team, trying something different by outing the uniform in between the zig zags seem to have a very positive result."
