YEAR six pupils from Clarendon Junior School in Tidworth have been presented with DARE (Drug Abuse Resistance Education) certificates after completing the 14-week course.

DARE mentor Pc Viv Phillips has been meeting the children for an hour each week to teach them life skills.

Pupils have learnt the consequences of smoking, drinking alcohol, taking drugs, peer pressure and how to say no, in preparation for when they move on to secondary school.

The pupils were presented with certificates and t-shirts after devising a presentation about what they had learnt on the course.
