A big thank you to each and everyone of them being there in the conditions forecast.

[KCC School Crossing Patrol @KCC_SCP]

Our patrols will be concentrating on escorting unaccompanied children across the road, but not using their patrol signs (lollipops).
We are asking for extra care to be taken around schools during the severe weather.

Our patrols will still be out working on Thursday, but, they will be doing so differently given the risk of the strong winds.

Reflective materials can be seen by drivers using headlights from up to three times further away than non-reflective materials.
Help you and your children to #BeBrightBeSeen.

We all have a responsibility when using the road, as outlined in the Highway Code's hierarchy of road users.
Let's keep each other safe.

Q - Do I have to stop for a School Crossing Patrol?

A - By law, School Crossing Patrols can stop traffic to let pedestrians cross the road.

If you do need to drive to school, when parking remember to keep clear of the yellow zig-zag markings and do not stop or wait outside the school. Working together, we can help keep outside our school gates clear of traffic and safer.

School Crossing Patrols are here to help keep you, your families and your communities safe, but please remember that children are your responsibility to and from school.

Think, hold hands and wait on the pavement before you cross safely with the School Crossing Patrol.

September is back to school month! Will you be making a change and walking to school? If so, our School Crossing patrol team will be pleased to see you 🚶🚴

[KCC School Crossing Patrol @KCC_SCP]

Drivers, if you see these signs please slow down and be prepared to STOP for the patrol, thank you

[KCC School Crossing Patrol @KCC_SCP]

We hope you've all had a lovely summer break 😎
As we start to think about the return to school this week or next, how about adopting a new 'resolution'? Our SCP Super-heroes Team will be back on patrol and would really appreciate everybody's help to keep crossings safe.

[KCC School Crossing Patrol @KCC_SCP]

If driving to school is the only option, how about parking away from the busy areas near to school and walking the rest of the way, using the patrol? Parking on any waiting restrictions creates increased risks to all crossing users.

Could you be the new school crossing patrol at Sandhurst Primary School #Sandhurst? We are looking for a community minded person who can keep the crossing safer for all users. More details, contact information and applications can be found here:
