Thank you for all the positive messages around the new barrier and the SLT presence at the end of the school day. We are trying to do our bit.

With that in mind and with the darkening evenings upon us, I would ask all of the community to think carefully about how we drive near the school and also where we choose to cross the road. We are still seeing some children choosing to cross at blind corners and from behind cars, which can be difficult for drivers to see.  We are still seeing some drivers thinking about their work for the day rather than the speed and care they are taking on the road. Work can wait. Always. As a school, we are working hard to improve the road safety around our local roads and continue to push the highways agency to prioritise our needs. These plans are shared in the Week 4 Newsweb. In the meantime,  please do work together to support the community roads to be safe. We do have one informal idea to share below - if you like it, try it!

One new idea is to encourage (we can't enforce) a one way system for cars. If the majority of cars all come to the school from Kenilworth Drive/Rochester Way but then leave via Little Green Lane, this would make some of the turning around challenges far more manageable. This is an ideas from a concerned parent... if you are able, please try and follow this idea next week and see if we can make things safer for the community. (See map below)

Kind regards,
Mr Roberts

Niam represents Hertfordshire County as well as the British Juniors. For the first time, he was invited to take part in an international tournament in Rome which ran over 4 days. This was such an incredible opportunity for him.

Rome Classic 2023 took place at the beautiful Terre Dei Consoli Golf Club, a European Challenge Tour Venue, hosted the best junior golfers in Europe & the US. 

·       First time Niam has played 36 holes over two days. 54 holes if you count the practice day.

·       First time he has played against some of the best players in Europe & US.

·       First time he has played on European Greens, massive difference to UK ones.

·       First time representing the UK & North U.S Kids London Tour.

·       First time he shot 78 on the final Sunday and 36 on the back 9.

·       Finished top 8 in Europe. 

We’re incredibly proud of him. Huge congratulations from the Little Green community!
