Road Safety Week: 15th - 21st November

Safe Roads For All

The theme of Road Safety Week 2026 is Safe People on the move, and for primary pupils it focuses on the Safe System approach, encouraging everyone who walks, wheels, rides, or drives to consider the role they play in preventing road death and serious injury.

Purple Mash activities

There are a range of writing and paint projects within Purple Mash that schools can use before and during Road Safety Week to raise awareness.

Why not get pupils to use 2Publish Plus to write a letter to their local Road Safety Heroes thanking them for their service, or design a poster encouraging drivers to slow down when near the school. They could also create an information leaflet for parents about road safety, and these could be put on a blog or shared with parents via a link or QR code.

More resources

Children could write about a traffic issue in their area thinking about different views. Using one of our paint projects children can design their own ambulance, they could add a sentence on why ambulances are so important, or use our MashCams to put themselves in the role of a Police Officer or Doctor, highlighting their roles as Road Safety Heroes.

You can access our Road Safety week resources in Purple Mash already with your current subscription or you can also try it for free with a free Purple Mash trial.

ROSPA have also produced a great guide that can be shared with parents all around teaching road safety.

Whatever you do for #RoadSafetyWeek, we would love for you to share your work with us on either our Instagram or Facebook pages.
