1. Road safety

2. 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.

3. 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

4. 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.

5. 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.

6. 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.

7. We have come up with several other ideas like the following:  Lolly pop lady  Speed bumps  School sign  Mph sign

8. But we need more help to keep us safe…
