The bus driver of Longframlington/Longhorsley bus has informed our school of his concerns about how Dr Thomlinson CofE Middle School pupils exit the bus at the designated stops in Longframlington and Longhorsley

The driver has commented that he has witnessed a number of children running across the road and not paying attention to oncoming traffic.  Please can you talk to your child and remind them on how to safely cross a road.  Please also remind them of the dangers of crossing in front of a bus and how they must always cross at a point on the road where they can see the oncoming traffic clearly.

Road Safety is an important part of the education we provide at Dr Thomlinson Middle School and we will be reinforcing these key road safety messages over the next few weeks.  Child safety is of paramount importance to us. Please help us keep your child safe by reminding your child of the importance of road safety.  You may wish to spend some time with your child using the enclosed resources.
