A PRIMARY school in Langport has beaten off competition from 6,000 other institutions to be provided with a “lollipopper” for the 2016/17 school year Churchill Insurance rewarded Huish Episcopi Primary School – one of 50 announced across the UK.
The campaign was launched alongside leading parent champion PTA UK and supported by Road Safety GB.
Churchill Insurance will work closely with the school, council and School Crossing Patrol Officers to recruit and fund a lollipopper.
It is calling for members of the community to put themselves forward to be considered for the role.
Churchill Insurance’s Lucy Brooksbank said: “We have been astounded by the amount of nominations received as part of our pledge to improve the safety of school crossings.
“Lollipoppers are still the stalwarts of our communities - national treasures who bring fun and joy to the school run as well as playing a vital role in protecting our children.
“We are thrilled to be providing the parents and children of the South West with a lollipopper.”
