We are delighted to share the exciting news that Eastlands Primary School has once again been awarded the Platinum Safe and Active Travel Award, the highest accolade available through Warwickshire County Council’s Safe and Active Schools programme. The initiative, which promotes children’s ability to travel safely and actively in their communities, has been embedded in school life for many years and is supported through an extensive programme of learning led by Mrs Vikmanis through our PSHE and PE curriculum. We are incredibly proud to have achieved this prestigious award for the second consecutive year, recognising the school’s continued commitment to developing children’s road safety awareness, independence and healthy lifestyles. Mrs Warrington and Mrs Vikmanis attended a special awards ceremony at Shire Hall in Warwick to receive the Platinum Award, but were delighted to discover that Eastlands had also received three additional awards. These recognised our seven years of participation in the Road Safety Education Programme, our outstanding increase in active travel rates over the past four years, with the proportion of pupils travelling actively increasing from 55.8% to 78%, and achieving the second highest points total for activities completed within the Safe and Active Schools programme. These achievements are a testament to the fantastic partnership between our children, parents and staff. Thank you for your continued support in helping more children travel safely and actively each day. These awards belong to our whole school community, and we congratulate everyone who has played a part in this success.

Today, all of our children from Reception to Year 6, took part in the Safe and Active Schools Hands Up Travel Survey. Every year we take part to kick off our Road Safety learning towards a Safe and Active Schools Award. Warwick Bear was very proud of everyone! This runs alongside our WOW Travel Tracker where if children travel actively 3 times a week, they can earn a badge each month. Please click the link below to read the letter for Parents and Carers. So many of us are travelling actively, keep it up!

A huge congratulations to Mrs Vikmanis on achieving her 25 Years’ Service Award with Warwickshire County Council. This is a wonderful milestone and a fitting recognition of her outstanding dedication to children, families and education over the past quarter of a century. Many members of our school community will know that Mrs Vikmanis’ journey at Eastlands began many years ago as a parent helper. Through her commitment, enthusiasm and passion for supporting children, she has become an invaluable member of our staff team and a highly respected colleague. Today, Mrs Vikmanis works across the school, leading and delivering our PSHE curriculum to children of all ages, helping to develop confident, caring and responsible young people. In addition to this important role, Mrs Vikmanis is one of our trained Safeguarding Leads for Online Safety, supporting children, staff and families in navigating the digital world safely. She also played a key role in designing and building our new school website, ensuring it reflects the vibrant and welcoming community we are so proud of at Eastlands. Over the years, so many children have benefited from Mrs Vikmanis’ kindness, wisdom, encouragement and expertise. She has made a lasting difference to the lives of so many pupils and families and is greatly valued by everyone who knows her. Her unwavering commitment to our school and community exemplifies the very best of public service. On behalf of all the children, staff, governors and families at Eastlands Primary School, thank you, Mrs Vikmanis, for 25 years of remarkable service. We are incredibly fortunate to have you as part of our Eastlands family, and we look forward to many more years of your dedication and expertise. Congratulations on this well-deserved achievement.
