New 20mph speed limit

Date Published:

Durham County Council is introducing a 20mph speed limit around our school as part of a 'Slow to 20 for safer streets' initiative to improve road safety in the community.

Signs will be installed in the new term and the limit will be in force during the period of time that the flashing lights operate. 

Slower driving speeds will result in:

  • Fewer road casualties
  • Encourage more people to walk or cycle
  • Children are able to play outside safely and can be more active
  • Less noise for nearby homes

We hope you support us in this change to making the journey to and from school safer for our students.
