Introduction
Cliddesden Primary School is situated in the beautiful Hampshire Countryside. We acknowledge that many of our families must, by necessity, use cars to travel to our school. However, we still aim to promote the benefits of active travel and believe that all children should be taught how to use the roads safely.
JRSO's
We have now appointed our new Junior Road Safety Officer team for 2023/2024. This is a Year 5 job and each year a new cohort have the chance to represent the school and help teach our school community about the importance of road safety. Each child applying had to complete a road sign test and write about why they wanted to be a JRSO. The standard was very high and the six successful children were Charlotte, Elsie, James, Joseph, Sarah and Seren.
