Posted on: 28/11/2025School Council Presentation on Road Safety
Today the School Council delivered a fantastic assembly about an important issue affecting our school community. Over recent weeks, we have seen an increase in unsafe driving and parking outside the school during morning drop-off. Cars have been stopping on the zigzag lines, parking on the kerb, and blocking the road — making it difficult for pedestrians to cross safely and, in some cases, preventing emergency vehicles from passing through. These behaviours put children, families, and staff at real risk. The School Council explained to pupils that we need to encourage others to drive with extra care, follow parking rules, and allow a little extra time in the morning to keep everyone safe.
To help raise awareness, our School Council is also launching a Road Safety Poster Competition. We are inviting all children to design an A4 poster that encourages safe and considerate behaviour during drop-off and pick-up times. We hope this competition will help pupils feel empowered to share their voices and encourage positive change.

The School Council members had a fantastic time meeting Councillor Adel Khaireh, Labour’s councillor for Plumstead and Glyndon today.
During the visit, they were eager to learn more about his role within the local community and the responsibilities that come with being an elected representative. Councillor Khaireh spoke about the importance of teamwork, listening to others, and making decisions that benefit everyone — qualities that also make a great school council member.
He shared his experiences of working with local residents, addressing community concerns, and helping to shape improvements across the area. The pupils asked thoughtful questions about leadership, fairness, and how they could make a real difference within their own school. Councillor Khaireh encouraged them to be confident in sharing their ideas, to work collaboratively, and to always consider the views of their peers.
