Pupils at Ramsey Junior School in Cambridgeshire recently received a donation of reflective bag tags from David Wilson Homes to help them shine bright whilst on their way to and from school for Road Safety Week (15th – 21st November).
The five star housebuilder gave the school 70 hi-vis bag tags for its pupils to wear whilst walking, cycling or scooting to and from school, ensuring they can be easily seen on the roads as the darker nights draw in.
Road Safety Week takes place in November each year and encourages pupils to celebrate the journey to school on foot.
Michelle Juniper, Vice Principal at Ramsey Junior School, said: “Lots of our young pupils walk the journey to and from school and their safety whilst doing this is incredibly important to us.
“That’s why we’re really grateful to David Wilson Homes for its high vis bag tag donation. We were thrilled to accept the tags and our pupils will be using them throughout Road Safety Week and in the future.”
Ramsey Junior School is located near the homebuilder’s Ramsey Park development on Biggin Lane, and the donation of hi-vis bag tags is another part of David Wilson Homes’ outreach to the local community.
In what’s been a challenging time for schools across the country as a result of the pandemic, the leading developer is as committed as ever to providing support during Road Safety Week and beyond.
John Dillon, Managing Director at David Wilson Homes South Midlands, said: “We want to ensure the pupils in the local communities remain visible now the darker nights are here, and our donation has hopefully still encouraged them to safely practice Road Safety Week.
“This is a campaign we actively support each year as we endeavour to help local school children in their efforts to commute on foot, and the bag tags have proven to be both effective and practical.
“As a result of the COVID-19 crisis, it’s even more important for us to support the local schools in and around the communities we build, so we’re thrilled to have had the chance to support Ramsey Junior School during Road Safety Week.”
David Wilson Homes’ hi-vis bag tags have been particularly useful during Road Safety Week, whilst being certain to benefit the pupils in their future journeys to school throughout the winter months.
