Junior Road Safety Officers

Summer term activities!

This term, the JRSO team have been busy completing an article for the parish magazine.

Holbrook Primary School JRSOs 2026 report for Parish Council Magazine

They are also preparing to remind everyone in school about the importance of the Green Cross Code for which we will reprise the Green Cross Code rap which we composed and shared last year. 

Find a safe place to cross the road

Stop at the edge of the kerb

Look right, look left, look right again

And cross if the coast is clear

Wait if the traffic whizzes by

Then look right, look left, look right again,

When it’s safe you can cross the road

And this is the Green Cross Code

Spring term activities!

The children planted more daffodil bulbs to build on our joint project with the Green Gang that we started last year and then made signs to draw attention to the fact that bulbs would be growing through the grass verges.  Along with ticketing cars congratulating them for parking responsibly, this has reduced vehicles planting on the grass verges opposite the school and raised awareness in the local community. We also ran the Big Walk and Wheel for a fortnight just before the Easter break.

At the end of term, we were delighted to collate information for Suffolk County Council in order to enable them to issue us with an informative and useful active travel leaflet.

Autumn term activities!

In December, our JRSOs (Junior Road Safety Officers) ran their annual Bright Bandz Competition which we launched during  Road Safety Week. The competition encouraged everyone to think about being seen and staying safe when walking or cycling, especially during the darker winter months. Pupils designed bright and creative bandz to help promote road safety across the school. The JRSOs were really impressed with the colourful and imaginative entries and enjoyed judging all the designs. Prizes were awarded to the winning entries from each class, and everyone learned some important tips about keeping safe on the roads.
