National Road Safety Week

Chetwynd took part in National Road Safety Week organised by BRAKE; a charity who help raise awareness of road safety to reduce crashes and reduce harm when a crash occurs. Children became Road Safety Heroes and understood the importance of:

  • School crossing patrols and how this keeps everyone safe
  • Wearing helmets when cycling or scooting
  • Speed limits, what they are and why they are different in different areas
  • Not using a mobile phone whilst driving and how this can be a distraction
  • Finding safe places to walk, ride and play, away from fast-flowing traffic.

Through this initiative, we endeavour to ensure our pupils are well-equipped with the knowledge and skills required to stay safe on the streets.
