Our Junior Road Safety Officers Campaign

SHOW YOU CARE, PARK ELSEWHERE!

Harriet and Robbie, who are in Y6, have been working tirelessly to think of ways to help with the ongoing traffic issues we have at the end of the school day. They identified that cars are parking too close to the gates making it difficult for them to turn around without coming into the school car park or stopping vehicles coming in and out of school. They also recognised that adults and children cross more frequently in front of the school gates and that is where the issue needs to be addressed first.

Robbie and Harriet have now put cones out to show adults who are collecting children from school where to avoid parking. They are very grateful for all parents who are respecting this.

There has been a significant drop in cars approaching the school gates between 2:45 and 3:30.

Day 1 – 15 cars tried to park outside the school (excluding taxis)

Day 2 – 8 cars tried to park outside the school (excluding taxis)

Day 3 – 2 cars tried to park outside the school (excluding taxis)

Thank you to all who are finding safer places to park!
