Infants at Worth Valley Primary School have taken to the streets to be given practical lessons in road safety.

The year one pupils are taking part in Kerbcraft, a nationwide pilot project sponsored by the Department of Transport.

Twice a week, a team of parents takes the children on to the roads around the school so they can be given roadside learning rather than lessons in the classroom.

The project looks at three different aspects of road skills -- safe places to cross, parked cars and junctions -- and are each taught for five weeks.

Children at the school, who were the first in Keighley to take part in the scheme, have just started the last stage of the skills.

Azmina Sumar, children pedestrian training co-ordinator, has led the campaign.

She said: "Worth Valley Primary has been a wonderful school. The parents have been wonderful. We need more parents like these.

"The project is really good. It is helping the children.

"And they have asked us questions and look forward to coming out."

Another six schools in Keighley have also hit the streets to give children the practical skills.
