"We wanted to help increase the safety of children in the area and we were thrilled that High Street Primary School were happy to be a part of our safety campaign.
"As part of the initiative, we are also hoping to raise awareness of free glasses and eye tests that are available to under 16-year-olds. "It is important to make sure that children have regular eye tests as an undetected problem could lead to something more severe in the long term."
