Shipston High School has won a prestigious road safety award for the second year running for our work in raising the awareness of road safety in our school and community as part of the Driving Ambitions programme. The programme, sponsored by the Ocado Foundation in conjunction with Warwickshire County Council’s Road Safety Team aims to highlight schools that go the extra mile to promote road safety to children, teachers and the wider community. This year, our Year 7s produced a series of road safety raps and poems inspired by Mrs Lucy Baker and road safety school mentor John Squires.

The school will hold the Road Safety Trophy for one year and was awarded a prize to the value of £500 donated by Ocado, to spend on road safety initiatives over the coming year.
