School crossing patrol

Cheshire’s School crossing patrol service ensures the safety of school children crossing roads.

Request a school crossing patrol

Schools may make a request for school crossing patrol.

The Head Teacher or the school governing body request a site visit and give the circumstances and recommendations for the site of the proposed crossing.

We score a road safety site assessment taking into consideration the road layout, the volume of traffic using the road at school times and the number of pedestrians. There must be a minimum of at least 15 unaccompanied children using the proposed crossing site.
