Road Safety Week

Road Safety Week is about encouraging families to think about how they can help everyone have safe and active journeys to and from school. 

Parking away from the school and walking in helps keep the area outside the school safer for students. 

Walking, biking and scootering is a great way to add exercise into your week! 

Please remember to use the crossings, it may take an extra minute or two but it is another way we can help you to stay safe.
