Northlands Wood Primary Academy swaps four wheels for two with help from local housebuilder

The donation aims to promote safe long-term cycling, with the hi-vis vests utilised during the Year 6’s Bikeability course earlier this term. The vests will now be used to ensure safer travel throughout the year as future cycling opportunities arise.

Kimberley Benson, Sales and Marketing Director for Barratt David Wilson Southern Counties, comments: “As a responsible housebuilder, we are committed to making our development and the surrounding area as safe as possible, and believe one of the best ways to do this is by switching from four wheels to two. We hope our donation of hi-vis jackets to Northlands Wood Primary Academy gave the pupils an extra boost of confidence during their Bikeability course and going forwards, will continue to be useful as they travel around Haywards Heath.”

Mark Sears, Headteacher at Northlands Wood Primary Academy, adds: “Being able to ride in the neighbourhood with bright and visible clothing is imperative, so we are grateful for this thoughtful donation towards road safety. We would like to encourage as many children and their parents to cycle in to school as possible, with this having long-term health benefits and also help reduce carbon emissions in the local area, further benefiting children’s health and the environment in which we all live and work in.”
