CLF academies have featured in this month’s Voices newspapers.
Frome Vale Academy made the front page of the Fishponds Voice!
Teaching staff at Frome Vale Academy have re-introduced a way for pupils to look after and care about their local environment and themselves – by applying to be academy first aiders.
The team of pupil first aiders patrol the playground at break and lunchtimes and will be the ‘first responders’ if another pupil is hurt or upset. The first aider stays with the pupil and takes them to an adult first aider for support. All pupils in the school have also recently received basic first aid training.
The Fishponds Voice has reported about how traffic could be banned from school run times around Minerva Primary Academy to improve school safety.
Bristol City Council has announced plans that include making one road permanently a one way street. They want to create a temporary walking, wheeling, cycling and scooting zone to keep vehicles away at pick-up and drop-off times.
The council said, “The aims of the proposed scheme are to tackle congestion, unsafe parking, and air pollution at the school gates and to make it easier to walk, wheel and cycle.”
Kate Richardson, Executive Principal for the Cabot Learning Federation said, “We are delighted to have been successful in the school streets scheme. The community at Minerva Primary Academy have been working hard to ensure our pupils know how to stay safe both inside and outside of school, the closing of the streets at these key times will complement this very important work.”
