KEEPING SAFE AT THE SCHOOL GATES

We recently placed some reminders on the school fence to prevent drivers stopping in an unsafe zig-zag zone outside school. School Council worked hard to identify the issues,  find and  then buy banners.

Imagine their horror when faced with this .....

We are so disappointed that some thoughtless people have decide to destroy something designed to keep us safe
