A School Street closes the road outside the school from traffic for up to 45 minutes, twice a day, during school term time only
School Streets give children the chance to walk, cycle or scoot to school safely in the street of the school without danger from traffic. School Streets give children a chance to get to know other children on their way to school, keep active and also help with social distancing during the current pandemic.

Could you support the school community?
In order for School Streets to be successful, Wilson Primary School need volunteers to help them supervise the closure of the street. If you feel you would be able to support the school community by supervising and controlling the barrier closures, please complete the form found here.
They hope to organise a rota so volunteers would only be required to supervise a closure once a week. The more people who are willing to volunteer, the greater chance they have of ensuring School Street keeps running.
