Road Safety Week
CHPA will be taking part in Road Safety Week 2026 on week commencing 16th November 2026 to help pupils learn how to stay safe when travelling to and from school and when using roads in their local community. As part of the week, pupils will attend an assembly on Friday exploring the theme “Be Bright, Be Seen”, where they will discuss the importance of being visible to drivers, particularly during the darker autumn and winter months. Through these activities, pupils will gain a better understanding of road safety, develop awareness of potential hazards and learn practical ways to keep themselves and others safe as pedestrians, cyclists, and passengers.
Pupils will also take part in Sheffield’s Road Safety Week 2026 competition, 'Design Sheffield’s Safe Streets of the Future'. Pupils have been given the task to create Sheffield's Safe Street of the Future. They will be thinking about how a street near our school or in our community could be designed to help people travel safely and confidently.
Their designs could include:
• Safe crossing places
• Wider pavements
• Cycle or scooter routes
• Spaces for people using wheelchairs and mobility aids
• School Streets• features to stop pavement parking
• Better lighting
• Trees and green spaces
• Lower traffic speeds
• Features that help children travel independently and safely
Pupils will submit these by 11th November and Pupil Council will look through the designs and pick a selection to send through to Sheffield City Council. Pupil Council will also choose a top 3 for CHPA and prizes will be given!

Children in Need 2026
On Friday 13th November, we will be supporting Children in Need by encouraging all pupils to get active while raising money for a fantastic cause. Pupils are invited to attend wearing their PE kit, sportswear or Children in Need merchandise and are asked to bring a £1 donation.
Throughout the day, pupils will take part in Joe Wicks’ Activate session and our exciting Run a Mile Challenge. Every pupil will contribute a mile towards a combined class total, helping their class reach, or come close to, the distance of a marathon. This is a wonderful opportunity for pupils to learn how small individual efforts can combine to achieve something truly amazing, while having fun, keeping active and supporting children and young people across the UK.

Last year's Pupil Council were presented with CHPA's Good Accreditation Award from Modeshift STARS for their fantastic work in making CHPA an active travel school.
As part of this achievement, a new banner now proudly sits outside CHPA, encouraging even more pupils and families to choose active ways of travelling to school. We are incredibly proud of the dedication and enthusiasm shown by our Pupil Council members from last academic year, whose efforts helped make this recognition possible.
We now look forward to seeing how this year's Pupil Council can build on their success and continue to inspire our school community to embrace healthy, active lifestyles.
