Cycling Safety

We want to encourage students to cycle to school and to be safe when doing so. For this reason we ask any student who cycles to school (even if only occasionally) to take note of our Cycle Safety Code. In the case of a student arriving or leaving without a helmet, they may not be allowed to take their cycle away from the school site even if they insist that they are walking it home (it will be stored securely).

Cycling Safety Code

  1. The cycle MUST be in a roadworthy condition.
  2. The student MUST cycle in a SAFE manner and show consideration for other road users and pedestrians.
  3. The student MUST wear a cycle helmet in the approved manner.

 

It should be noted that the school cannot accept responsibility for the security of cycles on school premises and we strongly advise that your son/daughter has a good quality lock for their cycle (ideally a solid D-lock).
