On 5 November 2019, Year 9 students had a visit from Ginificent to perform ‘Perfect’. This is part of Safer Essex Roads Partnership’s (SERP) road safety programme and is delivered to schools across Essex to highlight passenger responsibilities.

'Perfect' starts like a sitcom. The play introduces the characters using naturalistic acting, narration, physical theatre, and popular music. We then saw the build-up to a crash involving Anne (13). Anne is a perfectly normal, young girl, who after being thrown through a windscreen in a car accident, had over three hundred stitches to her face and head because she wasn't wearing her seatbelt. Anne had to live with the constant reminder of how important a seatbelt really is.

There were some hard-hitting themes contained within this play, which will hopefully inform students on the importance of wearing seatbelts and not distracting the driver.
