• National Clean Air Day - Thursday 8th October

  Tue 15 Sep 2020

  On 8 October 2020, Clean Air Day, we would like everyone to give their cars a rest! Did you know that in 2018 on the day of the London Marathon, when the streets were closed to cars, the air quality in the city improved by 89%. So, let’s try and reduce the pollution caused by traffic this Clean Air Day and leave as many cars as possible at home.

   

  We would like your help to remind parents about Clean Air Day! We would like you to complete our poster and draw a picture showing how you would like to come to school without the car. It could show how you’ll run, scoot, skateboard or travel actively in any way you like. You aren’t allowed to use any means of transport that uses a petrol or diesel engine and pollutes the air.

   

  How about inventing a new sustainable, clean air travel machine? There will be great prizes for the best posters and the winning designs will be displayed on the My Journey websites. Some of these entries will be displayed in the Meridian Centre and Libraries and on social media. The closing date for the competition is Friday 2^nd October

   

  If you would like to take part, please pick up a copy of the poster template from outside the office from Monday 21st September

• Walk to School Week Monday 5th October - Friday 9th October - Walktober

  Tue 15 Sep 2020

  Did you know it is National "Walk to School " week from Monday 5th October until Friday 9th October?

   

  How can I help?

  • Walk to School with your child and discuss potential hazards such as driveways, junctions, parked cars and bends.
  • Let your child suggest places to cross and discuss their choice.
  • See if they know and can use the Green Cross Code.

   

  I don't have time to walk!

  • Park the car some way from the school gates and walk part of the way  (Use our Park And Stride FREE car parks below!)

  • Bulbeck Road (West Street) Car Park,

    Prince Georges Street Car Park,

    East Pallant Car Park,

    Town End House Car Park (HBC spaces only – not LiveLink Private car park spaces - limited availability)

    The above car parks are available FREE to Fairfield and Bosmere parents/carers between the times:  

  • 8.20am to 9.05am (for morning school run) and 2.50pm to 4pm (for afternoon collection)

   

  • Try to find time to walk with them at least once during the week
  • Your child will qualify for a certificate if either option is taken.

   

  What are the advantages of walking?

  • The chance to teach important road safety skills which cannot be taught in a car.
  • The chance to learn about the local environment.
  • A chance to chat about the day.
  • Less congestion at the school gate.
  • A healthier way to start the day.
