Travelling to School

Active Travel

Active Travel is an approach to travel and transport that focuses on physical activity (walking and cycling) as opposed to motorised and carbon-dependent means of travel. Other benefits of active travel are, improved air quality, reduced traffic congestion, and healthier lifestyles.  This is by far the best way to get to school.  

We encourage children and families to walk, scoot or cycle wherever possible or practicable.  We are working in partnership with the Road Safety Officer and the Traffic & Highways Dept to support and encourage families to make use of 'Walking Hubs' that are close to school, where parents can park offsite and walk the short distance to school avoiding the need to park and thus easing congestion.  Please click on the link below to open our Walking Hubs Leaflet for more information.

Cycling or Scooting

We have a secure shelter where children can lock their equipment up for the day.  We strongly recommend using a bike lock to secure their bike and ensuring their helmet is named.

Children should not cycle to school unaccompanied until they have completed the Bikeability programme run by the Traffic & Highways Dept in Year 5.  Children who have not completed this programme should be accompanied by an adult if cycling to school. 

Children who use a scooter or bike must dismount as soon as they are inside the school gates.

Travelling by Car

If travelling by car children can be dropped off via the Kiss and Drop gates in the car park from 8.20am.  Please ensure children have their belongings ready and if possible can exit on the left hand side.

There is no parking on site in the mornings apart from new Reception parents and carers who must display their permits (included in the new starters packs) in the windscreen so that their cars are easily identifiable by the Special Constables on duty.  The permits are valid until October half term, after this time all children should be dropped off via the Kiss and Drop gates if travelling by car.

Car Parking in the Afternoons

Parking in the afternoons follows a slightly different model which, if adhered to, should ease the congestion over the staggered finish times for KS1 and KS2.  Please watch this useful video. 

We would strongly advise against collection by car if at all possible. 

If parking please follow the instructions of the Special Constables on duty, show consideration for others and be especially mindful of children when moving.  Anyone not following instructions from the Special Constables will be reported to the Police.
