STAFF at a Pendle primary school received a framed certificate and £100 after including a road safety clause in their home-school agreement with parents.
Colne county councillor and Lancashire highways and transportation committee vice-chairman Tim Ormrod, who presented the certificate and money to St Michael and All Angels' Primary School, Foulridge, said: "Many Lancashire schools have agreed to play their part in reducing road casualties by emphasising the need for good road sense."
Under the agreement, staff promised to reinforce the road safety message, parents agreed to make sure their children understood how to travel to and from school safely, and pupils promised to act sensibly near roads.
Rosegrove Infants School, Burnley, was among 12 other schools to be rewarded for taking on similar agreements.
