Road safety By the Full Council of High Oakham Primary

Who we are:

The Full Council support the class councillors in our school. We ensure the children in our school have a voice and are listened to. We meet every Thursday to discuss issues

raised by each class.

Safety is really important for us at High Oakham Primary School. We are all wearing bright clothes today to show you one way to stay safe near

roads. There are lots of other things that need to

be done!

Keeping Safe

Road Safety at High Oakham Primary

Here at High Oakham the Full Council have discussed ways to

make the school and roads outside the school safer for the children, parents and teachers. We have worked with Citizens

UK to look for solutions.

• lollipop lady/man• schools signs on approaching

roads outside to make it clearer that there is a school

• a reduction of speed limit during school hours

• chopping the hedges and trees so cars can see pedestrians near school clearly.

Road Safety at High Oakham Primary School

At High Oakham Primary School we are trying to get the speed limit

down to 15-20 mph between 8:25am - 9:00am and 3:15pm -

3:30pm.

We want all drivers to slow down to 15-20mph so it’s a lot

safer when we are coming in and out of school during the day.

Speed

We have come up with several other ideas like the following:

you put it in the box.

Raising Awareness

There will be activities available for all of you to do

next week. They will be displayed on the tables near
