About School Crossing Patrols

School crossing patrols ensure the travel to and from school, for local children, is as safe as possible.

Currently we have 120 school crossing patrols in operation covering 100 crossing points.

How do we decide where to place a patrol?

School Crossing Patrols are provided where children are in danger from road traffic when walking to and from school. This is not necessarily directly outside a school but could be anywhere on a direct route.

Can I request a patrol?

Requests for additional school crossing patrols usually come through the appropriate school's head teacher. If you feel that an additional patrol is required you should initially raise this with your child's school.
