◦Our school is located in the centre of a busy town so road safety is very important to us.

◦We will explain some positive changes we have made for the benefit of the pupils.

Walk to School Week and The Walking Bus◦We encourage pupils to walk to school. This is because walking is good for you, it is good for the planet and it means the roads will be safer as there are less cars on the road. There will also be fewer cars crowding the school gate.

Scoot to school◦We have installed 2 scooter racks in our school. All pupils can scoot to school if they would like to. This helps pupils to keep active and reduces the amount of cars on the road.

Responsible Car Users◦ Some parents at our school park in unsafe places. The JRSO pupils use parking tickets

to go out and put these tickets on the parents cars to tell them this is not a safe place to park. They also talk to the parents about safer places to park.

Here are the JRSO pupils talking to some irresponsible drivers. We designed a banner to

encourage parents to Park Smart

Eco CommitteeOne member from each class is on the Eco Committee. They meet once a month to

work on Eco projects around the school. This school year we won our 3rd Green Flag showing how Eco friendly we can be.

The Eco committee work in our Lunch Hall every day to make sure that all our juice cartons and bottles are put into the recycling bin – soon we will be doing this with our food too!!
