Junior Road Safety Officers at Mellis!
JRSOs take the Gold Award!
Our Junior Road Safety Officers travelled down to Ipswich by train to visit Endeavour House and the formal surroundings of the Council Chambers. There they listened to various presentations of encouraging road safety before receiving the Gold Award for their work in promoting road safety awareness here at Mellis School. In particular, they were singled out for praise with their positive approach to encouraging considerate and safe parking around the School. Well done them!

JRSO activities at Mellis!
Living where we do, with dark country lanes, an awareness of Road Safety is very important for our children.
We are lucky to have a very active JRSO group at school, who raise the importance of being bright and being seen, organising Brightness Days and competitions! They have also organised visits by traffic Police - and even had a go with speed cameras!
Recently, the JSROs have produced a series of posters encouraging thoughtful driving, and are even having them published in local parish magazines.
They're currently on a leafleting campaign thanking drivers who park safely outside the school - see the 'slider' gallery upper left!
JRSO Road Safety video!
The JRSOs have been hard at work producing a video to promote safe parking outside the School at collection and drop-off times - check it out below! It might take a moment or two to buffer - stay with it!
