LEtsGO BACK TO SCHOOL SAFELY: Say hello to our Lego friends...

LEtsGO back to school safely! 

Schools are opening, but we are still in our ‘new normal’ so things could have changed. 

School may have staggered start/finish times and you may need to use a different gate at school – but on the journey to school you still need to stay alert, here’s a few school-run safety tips : 

  • Walk or cycle/scoot to school if you can, but be aware of other people around you and don’t forget your helmet 
  • Has your school registered for a Walking Bubble? https://www.modeshiftstars.org/staysafegetactive/ 
  • If you do take the car to school, make sure all children are fastened in their car seats 
  • Please park away from the school if you can and don’t park or drop off on the yellow zigzags outside school – this area should be kept clear for the safety of all the school children 
  • Use the pedestrian crossings such as zebra, puffin, or toucan crossings where you can – especially on the busier roads
  • If your school has a lollipop person, use them to help you cross the road safely outside school
  • No-one has to run across the road – they will give you plenty of time to get across safely
  • Try not to cross the road between 2 cars that are parked if you can
  • Choose a place that is clear and where you can see clearly up and down the road, and where you can be seen by other road users
  • Where it is busy hold the hands of little ones and it’s always safer to have children on the inside of the pavement away from the traffic
