Road Safety

 

Two of our year 6 pupils represent our school as Junior Road Safety Officers. 
Their job is to promote road, community and personal safety messages to their fellow pupils and the wider community through reading out monthly bulletins, keeping a notice board and running competitions.  

Our school are now working with Modeshift Stars Education which is the Centre of Excellence for the Delivery of Effecitve Travel Plans within community settings.  It is our aim to promote sustainable and active travel to and from our school.  We will be looking at getting children active by changing the way they travel to school.  Promoting walking, cycling and scooting to and from school which will, in turn, help with traffic congestion around the local area. 

We have achieved our Bronze Award.

Parking

We have recently set up a traffic patrol around our school.  The Road Safety Officers and volunteers from Year 6 have committed to coming into school early and going home late in order to keep our roads and the children of St Saviour's safe. They have been challenging some drivers about their irresponsible parking and dropping off, and the roads around our school have been much safer for it.  

Bikeability

Some of the children in Year 5 experienced a great opportunity this week when they took part in the Bikeability training.  Each child that had signed up to do this had a one-day training session with the instructors, learning skills that will equip them with vital life skills. They not only learned to cycle, they also gained independence, social skills and a sense of wellbeing. Bikeability training has hopefully helped the children to be better at responding to risk and has increased their confidence. Hopefully, we will see more of you cycling to school!
