Houghton Conquest Pupils Go Site-Seeing For Road Safety Week

Houghton Conquest Lower School pupils have been given a safety talk at Mulberry Homes’ nearby development Houghton Fields as part of a wider Road Safety Week campaign.

 

The local developer invited pupils to the site and donated 120 high visibility reflector clips to the whole school to help them stay safe and seen as part of the campaign. 

 

The visit aimed to teach pupils about staying safe on the roads and identified the potential dangers of a live building site for younger children. 

 

Road Safety Week took place between 19th and 25th November and inspires thousands of schools, organisations and communities to take action on road safety and promote life-saving messages during the week and beyond. 

 

Julie Heaslip, Year 2 Class Teacher at Houghton Conquest Lower School, said: “We’re very grateful to Mulberry Homes for supporting such a great initiative and we really appreciate the hi-vis bag tags they’ve provided for our children to wear on their way to and from school during Road Safety Week and beyond.
 

“Being given the chance to visit a live development and learn more about staying safe near a building site was really exciting and interesting for the pupils and we have all learnt a lot from the experience!” 

 

The high-performing school was recently rated Good in the latest Ofsted report and caters for children from pre-Houghton Conquest Pupils Go Site-Seeing For Road Safety Weekschool until Key Stage 2. 

  

Greg Driscoll, Project Manager for Mulberry Homes at Houghton Fields, said: “With the school being so close to the development it made sense for us to invite the pupils to site to come and learn about safety.

 

“This was a great opportunity for them to find out more about what happens on a building site and show them the progress we have made here.”
