PUPILS from Exhall Junior School have been given high visibility jackets by Taylor Wimpey North Midlands as part of Road Safety Week.
Since 1995, road safety charity Brake has been working to make streets safe and healthy places for all.
Road Safety Week is Brake’s biggest road safety campaign, with thousands of schools, organisations and communities getting involved to share important road safety messages.
To ensure pupils at the school enjoy their walk to and from school safely during the winter months, the housebuilder gifted 45 high visibility jackets to the children to wear during their morning and evening commute.
Carol Edwards, Exhall Junior School assistant headteacher, said: “Road Safety Week is a vital initiative so we’re really grateful to Taylor Wimpey for their kind donation.
“Walking is a great way for our pupils to start the day with us, and the donation enables them to arrive and leave the school premises in a much safer way, which is the most important thing of all.”
Sarah Pasco, Taylor Wimpey North Midlands’ sales and marketing director, added they were proud to be providing the high visibility jackets and to be supporting Road Safety Week.
“We want to encourage children and their parents to walk to school, and we hope the high visibility jackets we’ve donated will help them to do this safely, and provide them with reassurance while out on their travels.”
Taylor Wimpey is building homes nearby at Appledown Meadows in Coventry and Raveloe Gardens in Bulkington.
