Platinum Award for local primary school
A special certificate will be awarded to a local school this week in recognition of the road safety work they have done.
A Platinum certificate is to be awarded to Bishopton Primary School for completing five years of KerbSafe. KerbSafe is a practical road safety initiative developed by Warwickshire County Council to help make young children safer when they are out near roads.
It comprises six roadside sessions with volunteer instructors and introduces children to the basic skills they need to become more aware of the potential risks they face.
Once a young child is aware of the dangers on the road, KerbSafe helps them to think about what they can do to keep themselves safe and encourages them to share this knowledge with their parents.
Stan Milewski, Principal Road Safety Officer at the County Council said: “We couldn’t run important schemes like KerbSafe in schools such as Bishopton Primary School without the support both teachers and volunteers alike.
"The volunteers in particular play a vital part in educating our young children about road safety and give their time freely – so well done to the school on achieving this platinum award.”
