Do you get stuck in traffic on the way to school?
Do you have problems finding somewhere safe to park?
Why don't you walk your children to school?


Lets not let the walk to school became something of the past !
Parents who walk , say it is worth it!

 

We started "Walk on Wednesday's" because we wanted to create health awareness. But our road to school isn't safe for walking. Our school gate leads directly on to a road that is always in use.

Why we need a School Crossing Patrol Officer

 

Mowlem Primary needs a School Safety Patrol Officer because the roads outside our school are hectic most times of the day. However our school is currently promoting the healthier option of walking to school as most of our students do already, but at present is this the safteset way?

 

 

There is no adult to hold the lollypop.

 

Year 4 student Fathema Bibi wrote a letter to the London Borough of Tower Hamlets Traffic and Transportation Office, requesting a School Crossing Patrol Officer for the busy road outside Mowlem Primary.

Fathema received a reply from John Rymell, Safer Routes to School Co-ordinator:

He replied, But we are not happy with it.

We have sent this letter to the Officer and we are waiting for a reply.

   

 

We did a survey and our findings shows that out of 225 children, 211 children walked to school.

So it's of the upmost importance that these children arrive to school safely.

Why our School entrance is dangerous

We have designed a website to promote road saftey because our school entrance way leads straight on to a busy road.

We want a S.C.P.O (School Crossing Patrol Officer). We need help crossing the road because it is too dangerous for children.

In our P.E cupboard locked away, we have a lollypop stick for no one to use.

We reported on the safety of the road outside our school and on the main road through pictures and video recording.

At the end of this project (June) we are still waiting for a reply from John Rymell.

Update Click here to find out more

John Rymell contacted the school at the end of July. He is working with the Head to develop a "School Travel Plan" and identify road safety and streetscape measures to improve outside the school.

Later he visited with the Head of Road Safety and also the Metropolitan Police Traffic Management Officer.

He has arranged for an engineer to measure for a footpath, improve the zebra crossing and find a School Crossing Patrol Officer.

 

We have a zebra crossing on the main road but it is no use to children because the drivers don't stop for little children, they only stop for adults.
