Climate Action Plan:
Guillemont Junior School actively encourages our pupils and staff to walk, scoot or cycle to school as it keeps us fit and healthy; it helps our pupils develop road safety skills; it helps keep our local air clean; and keeps our streets free from congestion.
Our team of Junior Road Safety Officers (JRSOs) organise a number of engaging and informative activities throughout the year. Let’s meet the team!
We are taking part in the Modeshift STARS scheme which recognises schools for showing excellence in supporting walking, cycling and other forms of active and sustainable travel. We were awarded our Silver Accreditation in July 2025.
We have created this simple Walking Zones map so you can see how long it takes to walk to school from where you live. If you live within the 10- or 15-minutes walking zones, you may even find it’s quicker to walk to school than drive and find a parking space.

Pupils in Year 6 completed their Bikeability training program, supporting them to develop the practical skills to cycle safely and confidently on today’s roads.
During ‘Road Safety Week’ we were teaching our children to be safe near roads, particularly during the autumn and winter when it is best to bright and florescent clothing.
Our JRSOs came up with a catchy slogan to remind people to park safely and responsibly around our school.
The children were invited to decorate their bikes to bring into school and for the chance to win a prize. There were some fabulous entries; it was difficult to choose our year group winners! Throughout the week, the children also learnt key information about cycle and helmet safety.
Walk to School Week
Throughout the week, all children were encouraged to walk or ‘park and stride’ to school, to promote active and sustainable travel. The JRSOs also hosted a competition to add to the excitement of the week. Well done to everyone who took part and received their certificate and/or prize!
In November, our Junior Road Safety Officers (JRSOs) hosted a ‘Your Time to Shine’ day, to highlight the importance of being visible when walking to and from school, particularly during the autumn and winter. All of the children were encouraged to ‘be bright to be seen’ by dressing as brightly as possible!
