3. Fox Class - National Project: Road Safety Campaign (LKS2)
Keeping children safe and protecting the environment
Fox Class joined the UK’s biggest annual road safety campaign, seeking to reduce car reliance, improve air quality and promote safer journeys.
What They Did
- Researched safe routes to school and other school policies nationally
- Explored how car pollution affects climate
- Built air-quality sensors and positioned them around local roads
- Created questionnaires for parents and pupils
- Began designing awareness campaigns and posters
Why This Matters
Fox Class stepped into a national conversation about safety, health and environmental impact. Their work shows mature understanding of collective responsibility and how advocacy can influence behaviour beyond the school gates.
By building air-quality sensors, designing surveys and studying the effect of cars on the environment, they explored ethical issues surrounding travel, pollution and climate change, linking learning in science, geography and PSHE to real-world purpose.
Their project demonstrates:
- Critical thinking about injustice
- Agency (children recognising they have a voice)
- Moral courage to challenge harmful norms
- Community responsibility
This is advocacy with national reach and rooted in Christian hope for renewal and justice.
