PC Sophie has been working in schools in Merton for ten years and spends one day a week with us in Cricket Green School, supporting us and offering advice. PC Sophie runs Police Academy for our year 7s, this gives them a taste of what it is like to be a Police Officer - they learn marching, various responsibilities and powers Police have, as well as meeting different Police departments. PC Sophie also runs a lunch club where children can investigate and solve a made-up crime.
