Platt Bridge Community School

Important information from Wigan Council regarding the school crossing patrol.

Dear Headteacher,  

I wish to inform you that the School crossing Patrol will not be covered at Moss Lane, Liverpool Rd/Stanley Rd and Walthew lane.

Points across the borough are graded A to D with A being the highest and D being the lowest. Our policy states that we will always cover A and B grade crossings with those graded C and D when staffing levels allow. This policy has been practised since the service was established.

Operationally what this means is that if a member of staff is absent or if there is a vacant post and they are operating on a grade A or B crossing then a patrol from a grade C and D crossing is relocated to cover the higher grade to ensure our highest priority crossings are staffed.

Please would you assist us by notifying parents via a text as soon as possible and ask them to be extra vigilant when taking their children to and from school.

In addition to this I would like to share with you that a  recruitment drive is happening to ensure the current jobs can be recruited to. This will close on 14^th February. All this will hopefully help to ensure cover is provided to the vacant points. I have attached the flyer in case anyone is interested in one of our vacant positions.

Thank you for your time.

Kind regards

Anouska
