We are supporting Wakefield Council's School Gate Parking Initiative which aims to ensure that children are brought safely to / from school but reinforcing that it is a parent's responsibility to see that this is not done in a way that creates dangers to others.

A road safety advisor and the police will be visiting school on 2 occasions to monitor parking outside school. Civic enforcement will be available to them if found appropriate

There is a video below which the children will be watching in school prior to the visits. Please watch it too if you can. You can find it here https://youtu.be/Ji1lC3Mvc_0

There will also be a 'Parent's Parking Promise' letter which will be issued to all parents / carers of children in school.

Please see the below flyer which we have received from St Peter's Church relating to the Street Fayre this weekend.

Our school is taking part in a Climate Walk which runs between 7th - 20th June. The walk is being organised in conjunction with a government petition which will commit to all schools being zero carbon by 2030. During the walk, local schools will be passing on a wooden relay baton. The walk will take place over a number of days with a number of schools involved - our day will be Friday 16th June. A number of our Y6 children will be taking part.

Look North news programme and the Wakefield Express will also be covering the event.

The aim of the climate walk is to promote awareness of a governent petition. The Government's sustainability and climate change strategy for the education and children’s services systems sets out the Government's vision for "the UK to be the world-leading education sector in this area by 2030". As part of this there is an aim for emissions from education to be reduced and for children to have opportunities to engage practically in the transition to 'net zero'. 

We are encouraging all parents to sign the petition. It will only take a minute or two and you can do it via the link here
