John met school councillors who told him they didn’t feel safe crossing busy Doncaster Road and were worried about the speed of drivers.
Now the MP is setting up a meeting with Barnsley Council transport boss Paul Castle.
He said: “I – and the kids – want to make it safer for them to cross the road to get to and from school.
“When the school was built, they only put in a crossing area. But it’s not enough. I think the council should look again.”
A pupil was hit by a car in December and since the new school opened the lollipop lady has left and not been replaced.
The MP and the school want the council to consider a number of measures, including a zebra or pelican crossing, reduction in the speed limit, replacing the school crossing patrol, warning signs, speed bumps and speed cameras.
