Road Safety

Junior Safety Officers

We have two Year 6 representatives as Junior Safety Officers, promoting awareness and delivering important road safety messages to the whole school community in a fun and innovative way. 

Our Junior Safety Officers, Parents and school have constructed a Safe Parking Charter. They want everyone who drives to Hoole Church of England Primary School to sign up for the following Parking Charter to help keep all of us safe. Please read the Parking Charter below for more information.

In 2022, we were awarded the Green level Modeshift Stars Award from the National Schools Travel Award Scheme in recognition of efforts to increase levels of walking, cycling and other forms of sustainable travel. Over recent months, the school has developed an approved travel plan as well as investing in facilities including new bike and scooter storage facilities. Our Year 6 pupils undertake Level 1 and 2 Bikeability training each year. 

Our Junior Safety Officers this year are Sofia and Esmae from Year 6. Every month they share with the school family different ideas on how to stay safe, at home, outside and online. They also run competitions to promote staying safe. The first competition this year was entitled 'Be Safe, Be Seen' and reminded the children how to stay safe in the Autumn as the nights are getting darker earlier. 

Bikeability

Bikeright visit us every year to carry out level 1 and 2 Bikeability training with our year 6 classes. This provides them with the skills to travel to school on their bikes safely and sensibly. The children spend a morning learning practical skills in the playground before taking their newly gained confidence and skills onto the local quiet roads. Our Reception classes also complete balance bike training, enabling them to gain key skills in a traffic-free environment.
